Tasting Notes

A red wine absolutely unique of its type, born of a careful selection of 12 different grape varieties ("uve"), of which six are Tuscan and six Bordeaux, grown on the Cinigiano hills near the Mediterranean in the foothills of Mount Amiata.

"One grape, one note". With this idea the 12 grapes express a musical ensemble as well as the diverse individuality of each grape in the wine.

Tasting note:
A wine with an extraordinary sensory power. It is almost impossible to give a virtual definition of the sensory elements of this wine, owing to the complex variety of its clones. It shows continuous changes in taste suggesting scents of fruit, of vegetable, spices, tobacco and minerals.

Grape varieties: two clones of Sangiovese (25%), Cabernet Sauvignon (20%), Cesanese d'Affile (10%), Syrah (10%), Petit Verdot (8%), Merlot (6%), Ancellotta (6%), Alicante Bouschet (5%), Cabernet Franc (4%), Tannat (3%), Canaiolo (3%)
