The wines have excellent character and flavor thanks to the particular vineyard situation, soil structure, and excellent climate. This wine is made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes sourced from estate vineyards in Montecucco (Grosetto Province). The soils are light and well-draining, and the planting density is medium using traditional Cordon trellising. The grapes were hand-harvested in late September, early October, when the reached peak ripeness and maturity. Vinification was in temperature-controlled, stainless-steel tanks, then aged for 18 months in a mix of Slavonian oak casks and barrique.

Ruby garnet red in colour, with a slight purple rim. Classic, earthy aromas of wild berries, cherry, and blackcurrant , with notes of dried herbs, baking spices, and liquorice. Medium- to full-bodied, and rich on the palate. Firm tannins and a long finish. It may need a few minutes to open up.
