It is a milestone, produced with a selection of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. A big, lush style, this red delivers pure aromas and flavours of black currant, cherry, violet, flint, tobacco and baking spices. This is supple, yet backed by a firm, dense matrix of tannins, so all the components are perfectly integrated. Lovely sweet, ripe finish.

After harvest, grapes sit in wooden boxes or on rush mats Careful attention is paid to the positioning of the grapes so the appassimento can occur naturally. Noble rot starts to appear in November and develops mostly in January. Grapes are pressed at the end of January and after 20 days of maceration, alcoholic fermentation begins with indigenous yeasts. Fermentation lasts 45 days.Wine is then racked and ages in Slavonian oak barrels for seven years. Alcoholic fermentation continues during this aging period creating a dry wine. Rich, opulent, sensuous and extraordinary.
