Description
A ruby red wine made from a blend of 70% Montepulciano and 30% Sangiovese grapes. It macerates on the skins for 6 to 9 days. The ageing occurs in barriques for 20-24 months and then in stainless steel for a further 12 months. Ageing is finally completed in the bottle for about 3 months. The nose gives notes of black cherries and sour cherries in alcohol and toasted notes of coffee and marjoram.
