Product Description
This elegant wine comes from the area of Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast and has a unique character. With notes of juicy blackcurrant, cedar wood and wild forest strawberries, mixed with delicate nuanced of rosemary and pepper. Beautifully balanced and harmonic, with a silky soft and complex structure. This historical label is a perfect marriage between Cabernet and Merlot, typical from this area, with the Sangiovese that in Bolgheri is very peculiar.

Product details
Winemaker Notes
A wine produced from vineyards at 100 and 200 m. asl, where the soil is characterized by calcareous sandstone, marl and calcareous flysch mixed to clay. The climate is temperate Mediterranean with frequent sea breezes. A viticulture based on methods and principles totally respectful to the environment allows a spontaneous productive balance of about 7 tons of grapes per hectare, all hand harvested and carefully selected grapes in the vineyards with an average age of 24 years.
