Description
In 2012 I purchased and began cultivating this small vineyard represents the excellence of Bolgheri's land and mine production. The soil is clayey and rich in skeleton, which allows for a very gradual maturation, especially significant aspect for the Merlot. The character of the wine is therefore mediterranean but balanced.
