"In a traditional style, showing beefy tannins and savory earth notes, with a core of leather and cherry flavors. Shows some sweetness midpalate and picks up energy on the long finish. Hangs together, ending in an uplifting, resonant manner."-Bruce Sanderson

Set up by Agricola San Felice in 1980, located on the southwestern edges of the appellation, a 65 hectare estate, where 20 hectares are used for wine production. The terroir is a mix of soils: calcareous, clay and alluvial, creating a balance of power, softness and elegance. They age the wine for 3 years in Slavonian oak casks and 500-litre tonneaux. BB: Complex cigar-box aromas accompanied by notes of morello cherries, wet stones and mediterranean herbs. Fairly developed palate of sweet black fruit ferried by big, firm tannins to a long, clean finish. MG: Warm and edgy, charred spice and menthol nose, followed by a full, ripe and juicy palate with concentrated, black pepper-tinged raspberry fruit. SH: An immediately appealing, enticing nose of cherry fruit and sweet-spice. Love the balance and harmony here, if being a slightly lighter style overall.
