The combination of the character of Cabernet Sauvignon and the contribution of Sangiovese gives the wine a modern profile that is still coherent with the territory. The 2016 vintage favored healthy and ripe grapes, harvested at full aromatic expression. After fermentation in cement and a 24-month aging in new French oak barriques, the wine develops a deep, rich, and refined style, with great care for balance and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a very intense, almost impenetrable color, anticipating an important sip.
