Our territory where international vines have the maximum expression, combining cabernet sauvignon and 50% merlot has been a rewarding choice over the years. In the month of August, when the sun in the Val di Cornia makes the cicadas sing and the temperatures are very high even at night, the merlot is harvested early in the morning, which will create 50% of this wine. Careful selection in the vineyard on small bunches (about 500 g per plant) gives us a guarantee of the highest quality. the operation is repeated in the first days of September with the cabernet. The result is a full-bodied but elegant wine, complex due to its tertiary aromas that derive from the characteristics of the soil rich in clay and minerals.

PRODUCTION METHOD:
manual harvesting of the grapes, maceration in vitrified cement tanks at a temperature of 24° where it remains for about 21 days, 60% ages in vitrified cement tanks for 12 months, 40% in French oak barriques before being bottled for 2 years of ageing.

TASTING NOTES:
intense ruby red hue, aromas of myrtle and eucalyptus emerge on the nose together with blueberry and blackcurrant berries, an evolution of dark chocolate emerges and a hint of leather and spices. In the mouth it is warm and soft, with good structure, velvety tannins and a long finish.
