Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère. All the ‘resistant vines’ from Gironda are here, to which we add Raboso Piave. Vines that have survived wars and disease, always shoulder to shoulder with our grandparents. They are protagonists of the same story. Interpreters of the same character: impetuous, sharp-cornered and a little “wild” that we have tamed into a wine of intense colour, with important and persistent aromas and powerful tannins.
