It is the fruit of a selection of Sangiovese and Merlot grapes capable of producing an immediate wine with great pleasantness, in a contemporary style. The perfect expression of the uniqueness of the territory from which it comes. Intense and brilliant red with violet hues. The nose impresses, for intensity and sharpness, hints of berries and jam, but also tobacco and a slight spiciness. The beautiful olfactory notes are found on the palate, enriched by a slight toasted note. Silky and well-blended tannins give excellent roundness and a long persistence.
