This Riserva was revived from the 2010 vintage almost 20 years after its last edition in 1992. We took that break because over the past 26 years we have progressively reselected and replanted our historic vineyards; we had concentrated on clonal selections, on the different expressiveness of Sangiovese in relation to soil and climatic variations and on the possibility of combining the characteristics of Sangiovese with other international vines. In 2010, however, we found an increased complexity and structure in the grapes from the first replantings of native vines, which convinced us to re-propose the Riserva di Vino Nobile only from native grapes, just like in the 70s and 80s.
