Varietal: 95% Sangiovese, 5% Complementary grapes

Appearance: It has intense ruby red color. 

Aroma: It is a complex wine. Its bouquet blends in harmony the typpical fruity aromas of Sangiovese (such as blackberry, ripe marasa, plum) with the elegant nose of wood without prevailing. 

Palate: This is a thick wine. On the palate, it is velvety and harmonious with an excellent balance between acidity and sweet tannins. It is also an aging wine. It gives its best from the 5th year after the harvest.
