Made only in the finest growing years with grapes from the vineyard of the same name, one of the San Castrese estate's oldest and best-aspected vineyards, planted on the slopes of the extinct Roccamonfina volcano. Showing a dark, deep red, it vaunts an emphatic, long-lingering bouquet of black and red wild berryfruit, black pepper, chocolate, espresso bean, and vanilla, complemented by a palate that is warm and dry. This is a complex, elegant, and powerful wine.
