The grapes grow in Contrada Monte Ilice on a mountainside distinguished by its dramatic slope. The demanding site gives the wine its heroic character.

Ageing

The wine rests for 12 months in chestnut barrels. This maturation contributes tannins with a fresh, elegant touch.

Tasting profile

Pale ruby red, bright and fluid. Floral aromas mingle with red fruit and delicate balsamic notes. The style is elegant, fresh and fine, with fresh, graceful tannins.
