Tasting Notes

Hailing from Tuscany, this wine offers an authentic taste of the local terroir. With 15% alcohol content, it offers a full-bodied and robust structure. Crafted from Merlot 100%, 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 located in the hamlet of Casavecchia, Castellina in Chianti, on clayey and calcareous soils with abundant stony structure. Vinification: alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks, maceration for 20 days. The wine is aged 12 months in oak tonneaux. A wine capturing the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany in every glass.
