Nicosole IGT
The grapes and the Vineyard
Two international vines combined with the traditional Sangiovese. Although of French origin, Cabernet and Merlot have been grown in our estate for many years with very interesting results.
The wine
Ruby red with purple reflections, this wine with a simple scent of red and black fruit, but also spices, tobacco, cocoa and licorice is proposed for its harmony in a jovial and never heavy. On the palate, the different aromatic taste characteristics of the grapes are mixed: an intense, powerful wine with a strong structure derives from it. The aging in new and then bottled barrels enhances the sweetness of these grapes and presents in all its magnificence this terroir.
