Winemaker Notes
This wine has a deep ruby red with purple reflections. The bouquet is ample and fruity with the typical scents of red ripe fruits combined with the species originating by the oak. On the palate it is full, soft and pleasant, ripe tannins. The aftertaste is fruity and lasting. Blend of Sangiovese and Ciliegiolo with international grape varieties. In blending these grapes, Col d’Orcia has reinterpreted the old and noble art of assembling spices so as to obtain and exalt the complexity of flavors.
