This red wine is produced from the same grape combination as the regular Sovana Rosso, and that is Sangiovese (50-100%), together with other local, non-aromatic red grapes (0-50%).
In this case, it produces an intense red wine with a tendency towards garnet after aging. The aroma is vinous, intense and characteristic, and with a fine bouquet. The taste is dry, ample and harmonious.
Mandatory aging is 9 months in oak barrels.
There is also a Rosso Superiore Riserva with a longer aging requirement.
