Limited bottles, created from small lots of local grapes. This wine reflects the distinctive terroir of the Cavazza family’s estate, and highlights the craftsmanship involved in our winemaking.

Dark and dense amber color. The bouquet is rich and concentrated with aromas of fig jam and toasted almonds. This outstanding nectar is well rounded, almost creamy, complex
yet balanced, the taste of toasted almonds and honey lingers on the palate. Long lasting persistence.
