About this wine

Ageing

The wine matures for a total of 61 months.

Tasting profile

Balanced and fresh, with a smooth, flowing texture and notable drinkability. The nose offers exotic spices, freshly picked raspberries, crushed violets, sweet cherries and sweet mint. The palate is silky, rich and deep, leading to a long, dramatic finish.

Serving and pairing

Aeration is strongly recommended to reveal its subtler nuances.

Label / history

The name means “Wolves and Mermaids.” It recalls a time when Podere Le Ripi was so remote that, at night, the only sounds were said to be wolves howling and the splash of mermaids’ tails in the water.
