Tasting Notes: This Supertuscan originates from the high potentials of this particular terroir, a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Prima Pietra is a wine rich and complex, with unique complexity and persistence. An expansive and enduring bouquet with red berry nuances melded with delicate hints of spice. Plush tannins. This is a rich and complex wine with unique complexity and persistency.

Ageing/Vinification: Each varietal ferments separately for 20 days in stainless steel vats at 28°C. We use native yeast to preserve the aromas in the wine. At the end of the fermentation stage, the wine begins its refinement in French oak casks for 18 months. For the first months each varietal is aged individually, afterwards the Prima Pietra blend is crafted by the winemaker and refinement continues for a further 8 months.

Vineyard: Vineyards located in Riparbella with an elevation or 450m above sea level, south/south west facing and on soild that has an abundance of fossils and ferrous clay.
