Tasting Notes

Produced in Tuscany, this wine reflects a genuine sense of place. Its 14% alcohol content underpins a rich, muscular structure. Crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon 30%, Merlot 30%, Sangiovese 25%, Syrah 15% , 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 in the Southern Montalcino area, in hilly soils rich in clay and limestone.
