Tasting Notes

This distinctive wine from Tuscany embodies traditional Italian winemaking heritage. At 14.5% alcohol, it delivers real concentration and power on the palate. Crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon 40%, Merlot 30%, Cabernet Franc 20%, Petit Verdot 10%, 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 on sandy and loamy soils at 80-100 m elevation with western exposure. Vinification: separate alcoholic fermentation for the varieties at controlled temperature in steel for 15-20 days with maceration on the skins. An half carries out malolactic fermentation in barrique. The wine is aged 8 months in Hungarian and French oak barrels for 50%, the other part in steel tanks. A wine capturing the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany in every glass.
