Tasting

Shiny ruby color, faded on the edges.
The nose is full of memories of wild berries, dark and sweet spices, tobacco and Mediterranean scrub. In the mouth it expands with softness and silky tannins, in a picture of perfect balance.

"In 1817, Grand Duke Leopold of Tuscany commissioned an updated land survey (cadaster) of the Maremma, the coastal area of southwestern Tuscany with its center at Grosseto on the Mediterranean and stretching into the wild forests and backwaters of the interior. Known as the Leopoldin Cadastre, it already showed vast vineyards planted on the property owned today by the family of Pepi Lignana, known as Fattoria Il Casalone. The Lignana family has been in possession of the property and tending its vines since 1960.

 The proximity to the sea and the presence of hills protecting the northeastern side of the territory ensures mild winter temperatures and dry summers tempered by sea breezes. In advance of harvest, nights are cool and the significant temperature divergence guarantees optimum conditions for the enrichment of the grapes, particularly of aromatic substances."
