Fiche technique en français
È il vino che ha segnato la mia evoluzione da sommelier a produttore. Dedicato a nostra figlia Chiara e ai suoi splendidi capelli rossi, racchiude un legame profondo tra passione, famiglia e territorio. Nasce dal Merlot ticinese, completato da una piccola parte di Cabernet Sauvignon e Cabernet Franc — varietà che oggi mostrano un grande potenziale nel nostro clima in evoluzione. Un vino simbolo di emozione e visione, capace di unire radici e futuro in un unico calice.

Winery
This is a wine that can be appreciated from a young age with generous oxygenation in a carafe or in large glasses. However, because of its complexity and richness, it has great aging potential of 10 to 15 years.
Tasting Notes
The aromas on the nose are intense and offer fruity scents of ripe cherries and blackberries. Maturation in fine barrels brings notes of spice and toastiness that enrich its capacity for expression. In the mouth, solid structure blends harmoniously with refinement, showing a distinct and deep style that is revealed with great persistence on the finish.
Wine and food pairing
This is an important, elegant red wine with great character that accompanies savory and tasty dishes such as pasta with meat sauces, risottos, red meats and game with medium-rare cooking, aged cow cheeses. Exceptional with lamb meat.
