One of the great Italian reds, a reference point among pure Cabernet Sauvignons and the pride of the Sella & Mosca project. It comes from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes
grown on strong soils of ferrous clay, combined by an ancient geological chaos with sand of aeolian nature. A terroir that influences and shapes the variety in a
Mediterranean key, making the wine unique and seductive. After harvesting, the grapes ferment with long maceration on the skins, then the wine is placed to mature in
barriques for about 18 months. After bottling, it rests in the cellar for a further 12 months. A decisive ruby colour with violet streaks, it is enveloped by ample perfumes of
great intensity, defined by notes of morello cherry and blackcurrant, tobacco and spices. The sip, rhythmic and silky, has specific weight and structure that the good acidity
maintains in formidable balance. The finish is warm and seductive, with a very long persistence.
