65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc. 18 months in barrels, 50% new. An immense, unexpected and for this reason even more amazing wine. A wine that makes you reflect on some commonplaces about wines of these years (wines thanks to which Italy has become world famous). Tasting it now from a 3-liter is exciting, no heat, no wood, no oxidative streak, just harmony, completeness, persistence and a lot of Mediterranean personality. A real emotion.
