Since this is our first wine we have a very special, almost sentimental relationship with it, hence the name Il Primo Figlio – The First Son. The blend`s base is a Merlot grape which establishes its round and fleshy character complementing Sangiovese's more savory and herbaceous qualities. It is an intense and well-balanced wine with strong hints of cherry, smoked plum and blackberries. Il Primo`s naturally soft textures and rich flavors work well with a diverse array of foods. It is also a wonderful companion to long winter evenings spent in front of the fireplace with your favorite book!
