This barrel-aged red wine is produced from the same grapes as Montescudaio Rosso, which is synonymous with Sangiovese (50-100%), and the regulations allow the addition of up to 50% other, local, red grapes. In other words, there's plenty of room for variety, thus making a general description quite challenging.
Nevertheless, the color is ruby red with violet shadows. The aroma is ample and complex, and the taste is warm, harmonious and persistent.
Mandatory aging is 2 years, of which at least 3 months must be in the bottle.

Did you know?
That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
So let’s just get one thing straight: at Lombardia (or Lombardy), Italy’s most populated and industrialized region, doesn’t exactly prioritize wine production. Actually, the combined output isn’t that significant, and what is produced is normally consumed locally, especially the wines from Oltrepò Pavese.
