Italy is home to some of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world and is the world’s second largest wine producer behind France. Italian wine is exported around the world and is also extremely popular in the country itself since grapes are grown in almost every region of the country and there are more than one million vineyards under cultivation. There are 20 wine regions in the country and they correspond to its 20 political regions. Wine grape growing takes place throughout the entire country. With Italy’s long north-south peninsula, each Italian wine region benefits from the micro-climates assisted by the exposure to the seas. Italy has a wide range of altitudes and a variety of soil conditions as well.

Ruby red color tending towards garnet. A rich intense and complex bouquet with notes of black cherry and spice. The palate is full bodied with rich red berry fruit flavors complimenting a backbone of tannin. An exceptional compliment to red meats, roasts and game. A silky and pretty red with dried cherry and lemon peel aromas and flavors. Full to medium body, firm tannins and a fruity finish. Silky and racy. Tangy finish. Always a classic.

Its purple color, the concentration of various substances is clearly very high. You won't experience a sense of surprise but a dense and awaited pleasure: a spicy layer that envelops a pulpy heart of fleshy and ripe currant. The intense aroma, the expert oenologic execution leading to a not overly tannic softness, and other quality reverberations of this expressive and majestic wine.
