Description
The terroir of Bolgheri, its proximity to the sea, and the particularly luminous conditions decidedly favourable to Cabernet Franc contribute to the birth of a great wine. In this microclimate, the vine, vinified in purity, enhances its spicy notes and acquires elegance and depth. The name of the wine is a symbol of the love that vine grower Walter Allegrini bore to this land.
