The jewel in the crown that has won plaudits everywhere.

This gentle giant has great complexity with tones of pepper and spices and rich ripe fruit. Aged in small barrels for 18 to 24 months it will mature gracefully over many years and become deep and complex.


Winemaker
John Matta, IWSC Italian Winemaker of the Year in 2002 and again in 2005.

Vinification
From 20 year old vines, the wine is kept in small barrels for 18-24 months, producing the most full-flavoured of Vicchiomaggio's wines.

Grapes
60% Sangiovese; 30% Cabernet sauvignon; 10% Merlot.

Tasting Notes
Deep red colour, clean fruit bouquet, still slightly closed. Full flavoured and vigorous, it still needs time, and will reward cellaring with great intensity and complex flavours.
