Production

The Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vines are cultivated in sandy-silt soils typical of the Bolgheri region. The grapes are carefully selected and undergo 18 days fermentation and maceration in stainless steel followed by 12 months maturation in French oak, and a further 3 months in bottle.

Tasting notes

Lifted aromas of fresh red berries and plum fruit with cedarwood, and gentle minty notes. The palate is ripe with layers of bramble and black cherry fruit balanced by savoury, spice and tobacco characters, supple tannins and a twist of sour cherry acidity on the finish.

Food match

Drink with ravioli and meat ragu, braised duck breast or grilled lamb chops.
