Varietal: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon 15% Cabernet Franc
Zone: Located on the Tyrrhenian coast, between Leghorn and Grosseto, in Maremma in an area made famous by Italian Nobel prize winner Giosuè Carducci, and it stretches for 13 km from the sea to the hills with vineyards planted up to 350 meters on the hills.
The vineyards are planted on plots of land with different and composite morphological characteristics, as well as with a strong presence of limestone. These areas are also rich in rocks and rather rich in clay and are located at an altitude between 100 and 300 meters above sea level, facing West - South/West.
Climate is crucial for a correct and healthy maturation of the grapes. It is influenced by the sea and by the hills that shelter the estate from the inland winds.
Aging: The wine is aged for 24 months in French oak barriques and a few more months in the bottle before being released on the market.
