Beautiful, deep and intense ruby red color with granite red sparkles. Present, complex nose with lots of black fruit, wild berries and black cherries, violet, licorice and other sweet herbs. After some air supported by notions of graphite, pepper, cocoa, roasted wood, leather and a hint of balsamic vinegar. Despite this overwhelming taste explosion, it remains tasty followed by a spectacularly long finish. After some aging, this wine will only reveal more and reward your patience.

This wine is an intense taste experience in itself. With food it asks for lush, spicy and pronounced dishes such as game, grilled and roasted red meat, lamb and chocolate desserts.

climate

The Tyrrhenian Sea to the west brings in cooler sea breezes to temper the warmer coastal air. Very hot during the summer, and mild during the winter.

soil

Closed vineyard ("Clos") which historically was regarded by Cistercian monks as one of the best expressions of the subsoil. Lowland with red soil, rich in organic substances that give the wine tasty, mineral sensations.

vinification

100% Primitivo. Hand harvest and timely processing of the grape with rasping. Maceration in steel tanks at controlled temperature and short maturation in steel and big and medium oak barrels.
