Other curiosities
Artisanal red blend. A limited production wine, handcrafted from the best and small single vineyard blocks of Merlot, Syrah and Tocai Rosso (indigenous local grape). The vineyards have an extension of 1.5 ha (3.7 ac) and face south/southwest, at an elevation of 180 m.
Deep ruby-red color with purple sparkles. Intense and delicate scent, elegant and balsamic, with hints of violet, vanilla and rose pepper. Light juicy, with subtle black cherry and blackcurrant fruits, date and graphite notes and a moderate, spice-tinged finish.
