It is the Supertuscan symbol of the Avignonesi family, an historical icon of our past, brought to life by the vision of the current owners. A bold and strong wine. The vibrant freshness of Sangiovese forms its backbone, elegantly supporting the structure and density of Cabernet Sauvignon. Together, they create a unique aromatic profile, rich in nuances and chromatic intensity. Pleasantly refreshing from the very first sip, it reveals all its nobility to those who know how to give it a few years of aging in the cellar.
Separated for the two varieties in stainless steel vats using indigenous yeasts. The alcoholic fermentation with subsequent maceration on the skins lasted up to 20 days. The malolactic fermentation took place in wood.
24 months in oak barrels and barriques
Dark ruby red with purple reflections. On the nose it opens with notes of raspberries, blackberries and incense, progressing to graphite and vanilla nuances. In the mouth it is dense, broad and complex with hints of plum and raspberry. It then evolves into a balsamic and spicy explosion supported by good acidity. The lively tannin on the entire palate accompanies the savory and persistent finish.
James Suckling 93/100
