Sangiovese in purity, Solenida is the result of a rigorous selection of the grapes of the Podernovo Estate, carried out through the AnimavitisR project which allows the micro-zones to be harvested separately with small bunches and light and concentrated berries, obtaining the maximum quality and expression of the territory. It is a wine of great character also thanks to the choices in the vinification phase, which takes place partly in amphorae.
It is organic, like all the estate's wines, and owes its name to the Solenidae shell, testifying to the presence of fossils in the estate's soil.

maceration time
Cold pre-maceration, at 12°C for 36 hours. Maceration in steel lasts for about 3 weeks in order to slowly extract the best color and tannins. The maceration in terracotta amphorae, which concerns 10% of the wine, lasts at least 3 months.

Refinement
In oak barrels and barrels, partly French and partly Slavonian, for 24 months, followed by 24 months in the bottle.

First year of production
