The vineyard "Cicala" [meaning: balm-cricket] is about 40-45 years old and the vines are replanted from time to time. A solid, powerful style, this expressive red is well-marked by new oak, with plum, cherry, cigar box, menthol and sun-kissed hay flavors. Balanced and lively, with refined tannins and a long, spice-infused finish.
