ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
Tuscany, Italy. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc blend. Organic. Medium-bodied. Packed with fruit that is richly complex and smooth. Its tannins, acidity and cherry soul are unmistakably Tuscan with the added character of fresh cassis, blackberries and minerality characteristic of Bordeaux.
