This extraordinarily elegant, complex offering was produced from 100% barrique aged Prugnolo Gentile. It possesses a deep ruby color in addition to a sweet perfume of saddle leather, dried herbs, cherries, almond extract, and spice box. The complex aromatics are followed by a medium-bodied wine with excellent palate penetration, sweet tannin, and juicy, tangy acidity. Consume it over the next 4-5 years.
