Tradition and modernity come together in this smooth, enveloping wine. Born from the union of the more traditional Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon, it rests for nine months in French oak barrels after careful vinification at a controlled temperature. Glass aging, which is extremely important, concludes its maturation.
