The name recalls a Maremma story linked to local tradition, while the wine's profile expresses all the strength of a vocated territory and the identity of an Italian wine with an international breath. The result is a Merlot of great balance, supported by substance, precision, and freshness.

On the palate, it is full and robust, with an important yet harmonious structure, made more vibrant by a marked freshness. The final sensation is long, complex, and persistent, with a velvety sip rich in extract.

Recommended pairings
