This wine is the result of a selection of the best Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The grapes are handpicked using 20 kg boxes, vinified separately in order to ensure the exaltation of flavors and only then integrated perfectly in the Bordeaux cut after a careful assembly. This RISERVA ages in oak barrels for 4 years and then rests for another 12 months in bottles stacked horizontally in our quiet cellar.
This wine is fulland mature, aristocraticand long-lived.
