Produced from a vineyard situated ten miles from Rome, this blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, aged in French oak, boasts a complex bouquet of black currants, pain grille, licorice, spice box, and tobacco. Rich, full-bodied, and chewy, with superb concentration, great individuality, and undeniable complexity, this is a stunning effort. Drink it over the next 12-15 years.
