Release Notes:
A fresh and fruity blend of Sangiovese (60%), Cabernet Sauvignon (20%) and Merlot (20%). The vineyards are at a thousand feet above sea level and are surrounded by forest, brush and steep hillsides. The estate used high plant density, modern techniques and low yields to create high quality grapes with concentrated flavors. The grapes were hand picked during the third week of September before undergoing a traditional 15 day vinification. The wine was then aged 6 months in vats and a further 3 in bottle before release.
Tasting Notes:
Garnet red color. An open nose of wild berry and floral aromas. Dry, harmonious palate with great fruit sensations and a smooth finish. The ideal Tuscan tipple for pizza, pasta, poultry, and white meat dishes. Drink over the next 18 to 24 months.
The natural beauty of central Tuscany.
