The Cortevecchia comes from vineyards located in Tuscany at an altitude of 270-350m on Pliocenic hills rich in river stones. 33 year old vines.

Transparent, ruby and luminous with notes of lavender, cherry, rosehip and pomegranate.

The finish is tasty and elegant with notes of aromatic cherries, blackberries, mint and then liquorice root.
