Centuries of history and territory, encapsulated in and narrated by a wine that is famous the world over.

Lively and fresh in the mouth, with soft, rounded tannins. Good intensity, attractive structure and fine, long length.

Sangiovese 85%, Merlot 10% and other red grapes 5%. Red in colour, with rich chromatic nuances and a distinctly fruity bouquet where the cherry tone is mitigated by a hint of vanilla and cinnamon.
