The wine pays homage to the year 1212, when Decugnano was first mentioned in writing when two priests, Giovanni and Pietro, took care of Santa Maria di Decugnano, producing wine for the clergy of Orvieto. The wine is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Montepulciano. The grapes are harvested in late September and early October to ensure optimal ripeness. Only the best bunches are selected to guarantee the highest quality. The grapes are then destemmed and lightly pressed. The must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, with a long skin contact (maceration) to extract color, tannins and aromas. Pigeage & Pump-overs → Regular stirring of the skin mass and pump-overs to maximize extraction. After fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12–14 months. Both new and used barrels are used to balance the influence of the oak and maintain the fruitiness of the wine. After barrel aging, the wine rests for another 6-12 months in the bottle before being released on the market.
