Description
In 2012 I bought and began cultivating this small vineyard, which represents the excellence of the soil of Bolgheri and of my production. The soil is clayey and rich in skeleton, which allows very gradual ripening, a significant aspect especially for Merlot. The character of the wine is therefore Mediterranean but balanced.
