Drinking Window: 2022 - 2026
This unoaked Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend from just outside the Bolgheri DOC border, at 400m above sea level, is fresh and herbal with a delicious dark fruit profile overlaid with violets and wafts of black cherry. Focused and concentrated in the mouth, flavours of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry and spicy raspberry shine with no oak to get in the way. The fruit does finish slightly short, but the wine's balsamic freshness continues.
