Tasting

It conquers you with its velvety tannins and warm bouquet of red fruits, violets and orange.

Vinification
notes

The Sangiovese grapes are harvested together, undergo fermentation by indigenous yeasts
and then maceration on the skins in temperature- controlled steel vats for 18 days.
Malolactic fermentation then follows.

Ageing: 9 months in concrete vats and a minimum of 3 months in bottles.

Label

I Quattro Bastioni contains a sketch of a mythological animal and symbol of strength that features in many fairy tales. It is a drawing by Silvio Gordini, one of the best-known artists of Emilia-Romagna, great-grandfather on the mother’s side of Aldo and Paolo Rametta.

Interesting fact – I Quattro Bastioni pays homage to the imposing defence blocks (Sant’Andrea, S. Martino, Santa Reparata, Santa Maria) commissioned by Cosimo I and placed at the four corners of the approximately 13-metre-high wall, which surrounds the citadel, with rectangular area of 2 kilometres by 87 metres.
