Winemaker Notes
The truly impressive structure of this Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon blend is exalted and perfected by a lengthy sojourn in barriques of diverse oak types. Its intense bouquet expresses all the complexity of its components - hints of cocoa, roasted almonds and berries, with plenty of fruit still. Depth, dimension and persistence make this wine a perfect match for important creative dishes.
