ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS
A wine of intense colour with violet hues. On the nose, cherry sensations blend with spicy ones. The palate is embracing and intense with full but silky tannins.

TERROIR
The grapes come from a selection of vineyards spread across the different terroirs of the Janare estate, with the exception of the alluvial valley floors. Just like con- ducting an orchestra, where it is the conductor’s task to guarantee absolute harmony to the whole by ensur- ing that each component gives its best, here the work consists of selecting, in each vintage, the best grapes from different soils, morphologies and microclimates – the volcanic soils of the ignimbrite, the river terraces and the ancient black soil of the marly hills – with the result of unfailing constancy of character and quality, which our valley is always able to ensure.
