70% Cabernet Franc - 20% Merlot - 10% Cabernet Sauvignon 

This Cabernet Franc based Bordeaux blend, is assisted by hint of Merlot   with its velvety tannins and supported by the freshness of the Cabernet Sauvignon . The combination of these varietals, coming from very different terroirs, represents a slightly different version of wine coming from coastal Tuscany without losing its identity of provenance.

Vintage:

The 2021 vintage is a classic . 

Vinification:

 

After the sorting of the grapes, the full berries are put by gravity in to small stainless steel vats. The grapes undergo a brief cold-soak before the fermentation starts naturally, followed by the malolactic. Once both fermentations are done the wine is gently moved in to second and third year French barrels for approximately 8 months. During this time with move the lees to give richness to the wines by doing some “battonage”.
