Tasting note
A single vineyard red crafted from a unique blend of Syrah and Sangiovese. On the nose, complex aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums, intertwined with notes of Mediterranean herbs, black pepper, tobacco, and a hint of leather. The palate is full-bodied and well balanced, with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity.
