VIA FONTE
The "via fonte" is a cuvée made from the grape varieties: Carbenet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Petit Verdot & Syrah. The act behind the complex wine is the cultivation of the grapes, which grow in an east-west direction so as to absorb an enamel of sun ripening. The soil is clayey, peculiar, very calcareous and therefore very nutrient-rich for the vines, which is reflected in the bouquet.
