Crafted from Sangiovese 80%, Merlot e Malvasia Nera 20%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. Expect layered dark fruit aromas, firm tannins and a long, satisfying finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards breeding at 350m above sea level on calcareous and clayey soils. Vinification: in steel tanks with maceration for 21-23 days.
