The color is a deep red, and the nose bursts through with intense wild berries, gladiolas and violets. It is full-bodied and warm. The palate follows the aromas, with supple and well integrated tannins. It has a long, satisfying finish.

WINEMAKER

The wines are then aged separately for 12 months, the Sangiovese in medium size oak casks and the Merlot in smaller French barrels. After blending, the wine undergo an additional 12 months bottle ageing before release.
