Cabernet Sauvignon is the key player of great wines, its adaptability to different soils and climates gives it the chance to express at top levels nearly everywhere. Cabernet Franc was chosen as the perfect complementary, as it keeps a distinctly “green” profile, with vegetal and herbaceous notes, even in warm climates that allow the full grape ripening. For both vines, areas with the highest percentage of skeleton and sand have been chosen , in order to balance their natural vigor with finesse and elegance. With a powerful and refined personality, is the most important "Cru" of the company, clear expression of the "terroir" of Maremma: a Bordeaux CRU with a Maremma character!

The Maremman winter saw temperatures which were slightly above the norm, whereas rainfall was below average. These conditions continued through March and April. The situation changed later, with one of the rainiest Mays in years. Lower temperatures together with short but heavy rainstorms were balanced by the hot temperatures of June and July, rising to 35-36°C (95-97F) for 7-10 consecutive days. By harvest time the grapes were in excellent condition thanks to carefully-gauged production techniques and approaches. A large diurnal temperature range over the harvest period allowed grape bunches to grow and mature gradually, leading to
optimal development of aromas and wines of extremely high quality.
