Description:

A concentrated dark ruby ​​with garnet highlights, the nose unleashes a range of fruity notes that meld with soft hints of dried flowers and Mediterranean herbs like laurel and juniper. Dense and full-bodied, it offers a pleasant freshness, with fine, defined, and well-crafted tannins that linger wonderfully.

A prime example of the "Super Tuscans," as Bordeaux wines made in Italy from a blend of typical Bordeaux varietals such as Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Sauvignon are known. These blends emerged in the 1980s as a result of the resurgence of some wineries that had departed from the Tuscan viticultural traditions of the time. The must obtained from the soft pressing of the grapes ferments for 12 days in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging, initially for 8 months in French oak barriques, and then for another 11 months in concrete vats.
