"A blend of 60% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot. Deep red color with mauve shades. On the nose, the outstanding notes of plum, blackberry and cherry are well integrated with scents of vanilla and licorice. The structure is powerful, rich and silky, well supported by an excellent acidity. The finish is long and balanced." Winemaker's Notes
Vineyards Hillside vineyards in the southern part of Tuscany. The soil is calcareous and well-structured.
Winemaking The grapes are vinified with a brief maceration for 7 days. When alcoholic and malolactic fermentation are completed, the wine is aged for a short period in barriques of French oak, followed by moderate bottle aging.
Color: Intense ruby red. Bouquet: Fragrant, with dark fruit and floral nuances. Taste: Medium-bodied, with black cherry and plum flavors and hints of spice.
Food Pairing: Ideal with a wide range of dishes such as roasts, game, pastas and cheese.
