The "Vigna dell'Impero" red wine represents one of the flagships of the renowned Tuscan winery. The vines, over 80 years old, constitute a company asset of great value. After the manual harvest, the bunches undergo further selections in the cellar, berry by berry. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature, with maceration on the skins which lasts for about a month. The refinement process takes place in large 15 and 25 hectoliter barrels, completing the maturation with a further 12 months in the bottle.

The wine presents itself as an excellent example of a Tuscan red, which maintains a profile strongly linked to the territory and characterized by a distinctive varietal trait. To preserve its authenticity and immediacy, it is bottled without filtration.

In the glass, it shows an intense ruby ​​red color with garnet nuances. The aromas that are released on the nose include wild flowers, red berries, notes of undergrowth, humus, leather and tobacco. In the mouth, it reveals an imposing structure, with a deep and persistent sip, an evolved tannic texture and a highly persistent finish.
