This Riserva wine reveals the secrets of the “Vigneto Fossatone”, a small vineyard of sand and marl stones where those native clones planted a century ago still live today. A vineyard in which Tiberini’s commitment to naturally sustaining the vineyards is total, since only the utmost respect for the natural integrity, authenticity, consistency and balance that nature has given this small field can ensure its survival. The proud soul of these vines creates an enveloping and balanced, long-lasting wine with the territorial pecularities unmarred by it aging in wood.
