"Ripe black cherry and blackberry flavors pick up accents of rosemary, mineral and spice in this red. Concentrated and intense, fresh and focused, leaning toward black currant and cedar notes on the solid finish. Racy midpalate. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2017 through 2030."

Type of soil: The land on which the vineyards have different morphological characteristics and composite with a strong presence in areas rich in clay and limestone rocks and partly of clay; are located at an altitude of between 100 and 300 meters s.l.m., facing west / southwest.
Climate: The climate of 2011 was great for the viticulture of Bolgheri. It can be counted among the best vintages of 2000. winter was hard with temperatures below the seasonal average, especially in the months of November and January. Spring is instead started early with mild temperatures and excellent water supply with no gradual rains accompanied by wind. These conditions weather favored an excellent vegetative growth of vines. The summer of 2011 was hot and long, but with temperatures that are always indented between the averages seasonal, except in mid-July when the heat became more intense. Fortunately the temperature between night and day, favored by the proximity to sea has prevented the onset of water stress of plants and phenomena ripening of the grapes.
