Tasting Notes

Produced in Tuscany, this wine reflects a genuine sense of place. At 14.5% alcohol, it delivers real concentration and power on the palate. Crafted from Sangiovese 85%, Merlot 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 planted in 2001 and 2002 on sandstone and limestone marls at 400 meters above sea level. Vinification: fermentation in steel tanks at controlled temperature with maceration of 16-18 days. The wine is aged 18 months in steel, then 4-6 months in bottle. A wine capturing the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany in every glass.
