Ghiaie della Furba is a 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 20% Syrah blend aged in oak for 14 months and 2 months in bottle. It has a deep, intense ruby red color with light shades of garnet red. In terms of flavor its dense and sweet tannins create a well balanced acidity giving this wine a long finish with persistent fruitiness of small wild berries married to intense spicy tones.
