Description

  • French oak
  • Plum & cherry
  • Subtle spice
  • Smooth tannins

An intense and elegant Brunello. Ruby red with light garnet-colored nuances. On the nose, it is distinguished by an intense and fruity bouquet with sweet notes of plums, sour cherries, orange and spicy hints of myrtle, juniper and incense. Full-bodied and powerful. Soft and smooth tannins are well-integrated with a strong acidity. Excellent persistence for a Brunello: the synthesis of power and depth.

Soil: vineyards in the hill area of the estate, with low to moderate incline. The soils develop on different types of sediments, from the clay sands of the marine Pliocene, deep soils with abundant and calcareous stones, to the gray-blue clays which are moderately deep mineral soils that tend to retain humidity.

Food Pairing: It pairs particularly well with rich and tasty dishes. Perfect as a meditation wine.
