Part of the blend rests for 27 months in Slavonian oak barrels of 30 hl, part in French oak barrels of 50 hl, and a final small part in tonneaux. The choice of wood is dictated by the type of grape, which varies according to the different plots of the Casi vineyard, in order to obtain a wine of the highest quality.

In the mouth, the round and velvety structure, supported by thick but non-aggressive tannins, will give a sensation of great elegance and persistence. Perfect paired with first courses with meat ragù and game, this wine also pairs well with aged cheeses typical of the Tuscan gastronomic tradition.
