PRODUCTION AREA: Estate vineyards (from 250 to 300 meters above sea level)
GRAPE VARIETIES: Merlot (60%), Cabernet Sauvignon (40%).
METHOD OF PRODUCTION: The two varieties are vinified separately in temperature-controlled (25-30°C) Horizon hybrid stainless steel & wood tanks. Aging in French oak barriques (350 l.) for 18 months follow
THE WINEMAKER COMMENT: A Supertuscan that perfectly combines the best tradition of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with the territory of Montalcino. Intense wine with very fruity scents accompanied by more complex notes of jam, spices, tobacco and coffee. In the mouth it shows all its grandeur, with sweet tannins and very persistent hints.
First vintage produced: 1993
