Description
The 'Ilatria' is a wine of great structure, freshness and elegance. It shows a perfect balance between maturity and refinement. Our premium wine from the Maremma area is extremely velvety with pleasant tannins, typical of wines from the Tuscan coast. The blend of 40% Petit Verdot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc reflects all the beauty of its terroir. It matures in French barriques, of which 50% are new, for 18 months and for at least one year in the bottle.
