Made mostly from Sangiovese with a small addition of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and aged in barriques and large barrels. The aroma is a basket of sensations from wilted flowers to fruit preserved in alcohol, from carob and hay to notes of rust and laurel with a hint of something that recalls a crystal ball. The mouthfeel is fresh and full, balsamic and herbal with fine and elegant tannins. The finish is long with hematic notes and those of tobacco.
Warmth, expressiveness, rigor and territoriality. This was associated with Alberto Burri , the warmth being that of the flame that burns and crumples in Rosso Plastica (Plastic Red).
