Produced almost entirely with Merlot from the
best plot of our vineyard in the
Le Sondraie area, with a small addition of Cabernet
Sauvignon, it is the faithful expression of a
unique terroir. It combines immediate pleasantness with
character, strength and longevity.
Characteristics Vintage
The 2021 has the characteristics of a great
Bolgheri vintage. The winter-spring period, characterized by
a lot of rain, contrasted with the summer period where
these were practically absent. A
complementary situation, where the depth of the soil,
one of the virtues of our territory, was fundamental
to obtaining a great result. In particular, it allowed the
plants, even during the 3 months of absence of rain, to
access the water that had settled in the
soil in the previous months. It is a harvest in which all
the uniqueness of Bolgheri can be perfectly expressed
through strength, finesse and elegance.
Tasting Notes and Pairings
Deep ruby ??red in color, the wine presents on the nose
hints of ripe fruit, with spicy notes of licorice and cocoa.
On the palate it is full, dense, with silky and enveloping tannins.
