The blend is 80-10-10 Sangiovese Grosso, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon (just like Foresco), only this wine is aged two years in oak. Soft cherry and chocolate are the protagonists. Wait a few moments and spice, cigar and smoked bacon appear. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020.
The Lago di Corbara area of Umbria represents one of the most unique and fascinating microclimates in Italy. Early morning lake fog creates the idea conditions for muffa nobile (botrytis cinerea) that is the secret behind the stunning dessert wines of this estate.
