The sublime encounter between Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc creates an intriguing and enveloping wine with great aromatic depth and ageing potential. A Bordeaux-style blend with a Tuscan soul that conquers at first sip.
Appellation: Toscana IGT Grand Cru
Alcohol: 14.5% Vol
Grapes: 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Cabernet Franc, 34% Merlot
Serving temperature: 18°- 20°C
Longevity: Over 25 years
Climatic trend
A fairly cool spring was followed by a hot and long summer but with good temperature swings between day and night, allowing the phenolic ripening process of the grapes to be optimally completed. Also worthy of note is the absence of water stress thanks to the rains in June and September.
Harvest
Harvested by hand, selecting the best grapes of the Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties from the third week of August until mid-September.
Vinification
Alcoholic fermentation in concrete at a controlled temperature of 22°C for 23 days, followed by 4 weeks of maceration. Malolactic fermentation in cement vats.
Ageing
Barriques 70% new for approximately 24 months.
Tasting Notes
Intense ruby red colour. On the nose currant, black cherry and violet are enriched by pleasant hints of vanilla, tobacco and cocoa. On the palate a wine of great structure and body where the softness and elegance of the Merlot blend with the acidity and structure of the Cabernet.
