Type
Zeferino is a wine of great prestige and true excellence, obtained from a selection of the best Sangiovese grapes. With an alcohol content of 15.5%, it represents the finest expression of our production.
Vinification
Fermented in steel and aged in small oak barrels for over 26 months, Zeferino develops unique complexity, with intense aromas of ripe berries, spices, and a pleasant hint of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is powerful and elegant, with a rich structure, silky tannins, and a very long finish.
Tasting Notes
The long aging in barrique gives it a pleasant toasted note and surprising persistence. Zeferino is an ideal wine for special occasions, pairing beautifully with structured meat dishes, roasts, and aged cheeses. It’s also the perfect companion for moments of reflection by the fireplace or meaningful conversations with dear friends.
