"A blend of 60% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot. Deep red color with mauve shades. On the nose, the outstanding notes of plum, blackberry and cherry are well integrated with scents of vanilla and licorice. The structure is powerful, rich and silky, well supported by an excellent acidity. The finish is long and balanced." Winemaker's Notes
