Trained veterinarian Monica Raspi closed her practice in 2007 to focus on winemaking at her family’s 17ha estate. At the southern edge of Castellina, spilling over into the commune of Vagliagli, the 6ha of vines are divided into three plots. The Riserva comes exclusively from the oldest vines, planted around the villa in 1998. The site has limestone-rich soil with a significant amount of calcium carbonate. Pure Sangiovese, wild fermented and matured in 20hl Slavonian oak casks. Michaela Morris: Shows some evolution with aromas of sweet earth and tea, and touches of sweet dried mint. It has bright, tangy acidity. Delicious. Sara Bachiorri: Iron-like aromas alongside fruit. Fresh and dried red berries with more evolved flavours of tobacco and tea leaves. Has a true sense of place. Michelle Cherutti-Kowal MW: A combination of red fruit and tertiary characters from bottle age. Acidity lifts the wine and supports the firm tannins.
