Black currant, hickory, anise, black plum, brush with hints of eucalyptus and cedar.  Dark plums + blackberry on palate, firm tannins rounded out and balanced with a burst of bright ripe berries. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot - not allowed in the area - it is called "Ateo" or athiest, in defiance of the restrictive winemaking laws of Italy.  Brother & sister Paolo & Lucia Bianchini currently lead the estate preceded by their father Giuseppe. Giuseppe was un-expectedly willed the 17th Century estate from the heirless Countess Ciacci Piccolomini after he had managed the vineyards + winemaking and raised his family there.
