- TASTING NOTE: "Ripe and fruity with notes of mulberries, spiced cherries, nutshell and flinty soil. Medium-bodied, racy and flashy, with chalky but fine tannins, and crunchy acidity. Hints of bitter spices at the end." 90 points, James Suckling
- ABOUT THE WINE: After harvesting the fruit is hand-sorted in the winery and macerated on skins for 12-18 days. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels and stainless steel for respectively one year and three months before bottling.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Agostina Pieri is one of three sisters who inherited valuable vineyard land from their father Alessandro in the late 1980’s. Agostina’s son Francesco Monaci has managed the transformation of this brand, initially from a grape grower supplying other winemakers to a producer with a reputation for consistency and quality. Francesco is considered a ‘fruit quality perfectionist’ and this shows in the wines which have a very individual character – smooth with velvety tannins and the spicy-herbal aromas typical of this southerly, low-lying terroir.
