Comments:	Super-Tuscan blend made with 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot grapes cultivated on the hills surrounding Capalbio, in the Tuscan Maremma. The grapes are pressed and fermented separately at controlled temperature (30°C., or 86°F.), in stainless steel vats. After malolactic fermentation the three varieties are blended and aged in French and American barriques of medium toasting. A period of three to four month refining in the bottles complete the ageing before release. The color is ruby red with purple notes. The bouquet is complex, with hints of wild berries and to the mouth reveals great personality, and superb taste, with notes of wild berries.
