Deep garnet and ruby red.

Aroma

The bold opening conveys the aristocratic expressivity of the grape varieties, individually recognizable but well blended, with dark notes of mature black fruit. Elegant and discreet, the wood completes the bouquet.

Tasting profile

The first sip seems almost haughty, but this wine is generous and complex, with a dark core and a radiant finish. The tannins are high and precise and mark the boundary with a gloriously clear finish.

Food pairings

Italian and international meat dishes, aged cheeses.

Winemaking notes

The Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon are harvested separately, according to the perfect ripening of the grapes. The alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place in temperature-controlled steel tanks, followed by 18 months aging in new French oak barriques.
