Description

The scops owl, the "Chiu" cited by the Italian poet Giovanni Pascoli, is a bird that prefers unspoilt environments and, from spring to late autumn, watches over Caltravaglio vineyards with its nocturnal song. This wine, made with Bordeaux blend, symbolizes the desire to get out of territorial boundaries and deal with the broader world. Combination of style, power and reassurance is enclosed in this elegant and complex wine, capable of satisfying the most discerning palates and noses.
