A magnificent and masterfully structured Super Tuscan crafted through the historic partnership of trailblazing wine importers Neil and Maria Empson and the legendary Italian enologist Franco Bernabei. Sourced from choice, low-yielding old vines grown across prime terroirs in Chianti Classico, Maremma, and the Colli Fiorentini, this flagship bottling is an exquisite blend of 75% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 14 months in select French Allier oak barriques followed by an additional six months of patient cellaring, it displays a deep crimson profile with ample purple reflections. The bouquet is incredibly intense and persistent, bursting with elegant aromas of black cherry, wild red berries, violet petals, and toasted vanilla, seamlessly layered with complex undertones of balsamic, leather, dark chocolate, and warm black pepper that carry through to a full, lush palate bound by velvety tannins and a remarkably long, savory finish.
Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with thick-cut grilled steaks, slow-braised wild boar ragù, rich mushroom risottos, or a selection of intensely aged Pecorino and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeses.
