A deep, rich ruby red in color, Aurelio offers a rich bouquet of mature red fruits, intense dark spices, pepper and chocolate. On the palate Aurelio is supple, soft and opulent, with velvety tannins. Very well- balanced and long finishing, Aurelio is definitely a standard bearer for the Maremma Toscana DOC. 95% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc

The aromas of blackcurrants and dried flowers are very attractive in this red. Full body and round, velvety tannins, showing lovely texture and tension.

This is really hitting a sweet spot, with ripe, effusive cherry fruit setting the pace for the succulent texture and well-integrated structure. Wild rosemary, thyme, cedar and iron notes play supporting roles as this red remains saturated and long. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2028.

A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this shows aromas of black plum, mocha and baking spice. The juicy palate offers blackberry jam, pipe tobacco and toasted notes alongside smooth tannins.
