WINEMAKER'S NOTE
Good deep red color. Aromas of the Sangiovese and Merlot fruit can be picked up on the nose, as well as the restrained and spicy notes of the Cabernet, yielding aromas of berries and plums, essence of tobacco and liquorish, black olives and beets. On the palate the wine is full, with a soft and captivating structure.Ideal companion to pasta, grilled or roasted red and white meats.
