$25.98

An expansive bouquet showcases the fruity nuances of plum and the delicate, ethereal presence of violet blossoms. Subsequent notes of white pepper add a subtle layer of spice. On the palate, it offers a medium body and elegant tannins. This remarkably versatile wine maintains a satisfying level of persistence, with a lingering impression of fresh plum.

The symbol adorning the label is from a frieze within the chapel of the La Solatia estate, situated along the historic Via Francigena.
