This Merlot-led blend is sourced primarily from the Valadorna and Capraia blocks, which produce the estate's most complex and mineral-based expressions of this variety. The blocks are located within the cooler part of the estate, naturally irrigated by the stream that undulates through it, and feature sandy brown soils and lower yields than typical. These blocks are often the last Merlot blocks to ripen on the estate.
Blend: 74% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot
Very intense nose of blackberries, dark chocolate, sandalwood, vanilla, treacle and tar. Full-bodied with plenty of dark fruit, but lots of black-olive undertones and bright acidity keep this fresh, while firm tannins carve out an elegant, polished shape. Drink in 2021.
