This wine is produced from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes coming from our vineyards in the Montebelvedere area on the Berici Hills. Aged in steel tanks and large oak barrels, it has an intense ruby red color. The nose is elegant, with hints of red fruit and delicate spicy notes. In the mouth it is full, balanced and persistent with soft and elegant tannins.
