COSIMO MARIA MASINI NICOLE

The wine Nicole derives exclusively from Sangiovese grapes from a single vineyard. This vineyard, known as "Cipressi" because it is located right next to the entrance and the tree-lined avenue of the estate, represents for the producers a "Cru" to be valued and vinified separately. The Nicole is born from the natural fermentation of the grapes, without the addition of any oenological aid, except for small amounts of sulfites, if necessary. It is entirely vinified in conical oak vats, with delicate daily manual punch-downs and a long maceration on the skins. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures in 40 HL oak barrels for 10-12 months. It is bottled without filtration that could compromise the liveliness of the wine.

With a beautiful ruby red color, the Nicole embodies the elegance and refinement that Sangiovese can express. The tannins are present but delicate and well-integrated; the aromatic profile is intriguing and complex, with a clear fruity note that stands out. It is a wine of extraordinary harmony and excellent balance.
