The blend is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pugnitello (a revived ancient local variety), with a smaller quantity of Petit Verdot. Aged for 20 months in French oak barriques and an additional 8–10 months in bottle prior to release. Complex, refined dark fruit, cinnamon, clove, a whiff of green herb and piquant blackcurrant on the nose give way to ripe, generously rounded fruit, a splash of milk chocolate, well-modulated tannins and a harmoniously integrated finish.
