Rovaio 2018 - Package Size M - 12 Bottles

Our Super Tuscan "Rovaio" is born from the blend of the native Sangiovese grape with two noble Bordeaux vines, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It is a wine that combines structure, intensity, complexity and elegance. The vinification is separated for each single grape variety. The individual wines mature for 18 months in new Tonneaux. The first edition of this long aging wine dates back to 1995, entirely produced in San Gimignano.
