Winemaking:

The wine is lightly oaked using old French barrels, allowing the wine oak for structure and balance, without imparting strong oak tannins. Sangiovese is typically a lighter style of red wine, early to release and easy to drink, which is why they bottle it young to retain those youthful, fresh, fruity characters.
