Complex and evolving aromas of blackberry, fresh violet, graphite, licorice, charcoal, and subtle dried herbs. Endlessly layered on the palate, combining dense texture with weightless balance, vibrant acidity, ultra-refined chalky tannins, and a persistent mineral finish.

Matured for fully 64 months in 100-year-old Italian oak foudres to preserve purity and raw terroir expression.

Aging Potential:
A timeless wine built for extended cellaring — 15–25+ years.
