  Elegant Toscana wine with a varietal composition of 55 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 25 % Alicante Bouchet and 20 % Merlot (spontaneous fermentation, each variety was fermented separately). Maturation: aged for twelve months, partly in stainless steel tanks, partly in French barriques and tonneaux. Color: deep ruby-red. Nose: delicate bouquet with scents of violets, ripe red berries, raspberry and hints of roasted coffee and cedar wood. On the palate: a well-balanced, medium- to full-bodied wine marked by lush cherry and red forest fruit, with quite a velvety texture and finely integrated tannins. Drinking window: the wine is at its peak now, drink it now and over the next two-four years.
  
  Een elegante Toscaanse wijn met een samenstelling van 55 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 25 % Alicante Bouchet en 20 % Merlot (spontane gisting, elke druivensoort werd afzonderlijk vergist). Rijping: twaalf maanden, deels in roestvrijstalen tanks, deels in Franse barriques en tonneaux. Kleur: diep robijnrood. Neus: delicaat bouquet met aroma’s van viooltjes, rijpe rode bessen, framboos en hints van gebrande koffie en cederhout. In de mond: een fraai uitgebalanceerde, vrij volle wijn gekenmerkt door weelderig kers- en rood bosfruit, met een vrij fluwelige textuur en mooi versmolten tannines. Te drinken: de wijn is nu op zijn hoogtepunt, drink hem nu en de komende twee tot vier jaar.

  Round style and rather full bodied without any excessive heat present from the hot vintage. It's not the most typical Tuscan wine, a more international impression.
