The Story
A magnificent and critically acclaimed flagship Super Tuscan red wine from the excellent 2020 vintage. An opulent blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot, it radiates a deep ruby-purple hue with a brilliant bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, and sweet spices, yielding a full-bodied, multi-layered palate with seamlessly integrated, velvety tannins and a monumental finish.
Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with prime dry-aged Bistecca alla Fiorentina, roasted venison loin, slow-braised wild boar ragù, or rich, mature pecorino cheeses.
97 Points - James Suckling
A red with a layered, velvety texture, showing blackberry and black-olive character, together with some iodine and graphite. Full-bodied and rich with lots of fruit and chewy tannins. Savory. 50% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon and 10% petit verdot. Needs two or three years to soften.
96 Points - Wine Enthusiast
A forest floor of berries, brambles, wild herbs and soil on the nose. Mixed berries, both macerated and fresh, on the palate play beautifully against anise and licorice, then dark chocolate and coffee, with a seemingly infinite finish held up by tightly coiled but refined tannins.
