Profile & Story
Such a magnificent and generous terroir deserves to be cared for and protected with total passion and respect. The terrain is mostly stony but with sufficient lime and clay to retain water in the subsoil, guaranteeing nutrients even during prolonged periods of drought. The crowning glory of La Màgia is the forty year old vineyard, covering 15 hectares in a single block and planted entirely with Sangiovese grapes – exclusively registered as Brunello. This unique parcel of land dominates the valley at a height of 400-450 metres and faces south east. Our Bio/Organic certification is the result of forty years of commitment and professional expertise, always showing respect for the integrity of the terroir. The benefits of this approach are evident in the range of exceptional wines, unique and unrepeatable.
Tasting Notes
This is the absolute pinnacle or “cherry” of our winemaking skills, produced with grapes from the oldest vines, all at least 40 years old, enhanced by a terrain that is low in fertility but maximises concentration. The wine is named after one of the two cherry trees on either side of the vines, a magnificent specimen that identifies the vineyard from a considerable distance. Our top cru, le grand vin de La Màgia. Only a very limited quantity of numbered bottles of this precious Brunello is released onto the market. With its freshness and complexity, this wine has pronounced mineral undertones. A statement of concentration and elegance that only the Sangiovese grape can deliver, when grown in its ideal environment.
