In this bottle we selected a blend of our best
Sangiovese, adding at the time of bottling, 10% Merlot
and 5% Cabernet, previously aged for one year in oak
barrels.
The aging process continues for another two years,
one in the barrel and the other in the bottle. It has
a ruby red colour with persistent "arches". Intense
flavour with hints of ripe fruit.
Taste dry, velvety, slightly tannic. Persistent aftertaste
with increasing intensity. To accompany roast meats,
game, stews, cheeses, pasta dishes.
