Description

Ilatraia is a wine of great structure, freshness and elegance. It shows a perfect balance between maturity and refinement. Our wine of excellence from the Maremma area is extremely velvety with pleasant tannins, typical of the wines of the Tuscan coast. The name Ilatraia has been the name of one of the hills of our winery for centuries, today the vineyard of our best Petit Verdot.
