| Comments: |
Long lasting, harmonious wine with great structure. The grapes are carefully selected at harvest time, then the skin is left with the fermenting must for about 25 days, thus extracting all the phenols which make for a precious wine.
The color is ruby red with subdued garnet highlights. Complex nose, with the scent of ripe fruits, black pepper, vanilla and a hint of chocolate in the background. In the mouth it is full, harmonious, with extremely elegant tannins. Meditation wine which pairs well with wild game. |

| Comments: |
Wine typical of the production zone, which represents a good expression of the varietal's characteristics, fermented in iron vats with a brief stay in wooden barrels. Floral and fruity perfumes, with preeminence of cherry and ripe strawberry in the background.
It pairs well with cold cuts- and fresh cheese-based hors d'oeuvres, in particular with prosciutto di San Daniele DOP and main courses based on veal. |

| 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. |

Made with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes harvested late and fermented at controlled temperature (30°C., or 86°F.), in stainless steel vats.
Aged for eight month in the bottles before release, this wine has intense red color and lightly spicy nose with interesting, balanced bouquet. Because of the high content of polyphenols, the flavor is slightly and pleasantly bitter. |
