Our flagship wine is remarkably direct & appetizing, yet it’s made to last for decades. It is immediately riper & richer than red Bordeaux, benefitting from the bright Tuscan sun, but is more complex than other Italian Bordeaux blends. Like them, it is sold as a Rosso IGT, but there is nothing remotely typical about this wine.
