Vibrant yet austere, a soul-shaking symphony. Deep expression of the most valuable spices. Monolithic yet sinuous. Cloves mellow the memories of sandalwood and opium… the pace continues as tangerine tones accompany a gradual opening, a swell of mineral accents strikes you.

Scent of home, breath of life, sip of Tuscany. It moves like the sea that it looks at, from red crispy fruit tones to freshly bloomed purple flowers. It‘s a fresh and serene dawn that renovates itself at each sip. The body is round and always tense, while the finish is savoury and mineral, revealing the balsamic and floral hints that are the natural expression of Sangiovese in Tuscany.

Only the beginning of a story: golden nutmeg and light tobacco and never ceasing to surprise. Between pink pepper berries and rosemary notes, relaxed and dense tannins gently awaken the senses. the one who knows how to entertain without ever becoming intrusive. It does not end, but continues to become…’

Freshness of spring flowers, currant crunchiness, intensity of thyme. A fairy tale trilogy for a wine that enchants with its joy. A majestic rosé that doesn’t whisper, even in the color.
