“A lush, eloquent red, with smoke and charred oak flavors wrapped around a core of black cherry, blackberry, plum and iron. Polished, with a youthful grip of tannins on the long, spice- and smoke-laced aftertaste. Give this a few years in the cellar. Sangiovese.

This is the wine conceived and desired by Vittorio Fiore after long years of study, thought, and working experience and it is the result of an exceptional pairing and synergy: Sangiovese and the Ruffoli vineyards in Greve in Chianti. The results of this synergy – the grapes harvested in the Carbonaione vineyard – are worked with passion and dedication by Vittorio Fiore and his son Jurij in order to obtain a wine of great power and elegance, one capable of expressing in all of its richness the terroir in which it is born.
