The highest expression of Sangiovese

Tauleto is a superb-quality wine made only in the finest growing years. It is a forceful red, exhibiting exceptional structure and cellarability, well-balanced and complex. Its forward, decisive character is beautifully balanced by supple tannins and by notes of spice and wild berry.

Podere Tauleto

VINEYARD PROPERTY
Tauleto is produced from grapes grown on the estate property of the same name. Purchased more than thirty years ago by Umberto Cesari, it was in the past rich in surface aquifers, which today are strata of rich humus. This is the reason that for years now we have utilised that property for experimentation, in collaboration with the Crop Sciences Department of the University of Bologna. Today the beneficiary of this fertile site’s ideal southwest aspect is a vineyard planted to Sangiovese Grosso.

GRAPE VARIETIES
The Podere Tauleto, one of the winery’s smallest but most fertile parvels, is planted to the native grape Sangiovese Grosso.

WINES
The superb Sangiovese Grosso grapes growing on this property produce Tauleto.
