The winery is situated at the historic Casato Prime Donne estate, which has belonged to the ancestors of Donatella Cinelli Colombini since the late 16th century. The winery operates with a unique and pioneering philosophy, establishing itself as the first winery in Italy with an all-female staff and developing selections dedicated to showcasing female talent in the wine world.
Wine Description
This red wine presents a deep, rich ruby appearance in the glass and possesses a medium-to-full body with an enveloping texture. The sensory profile is elegant, traditional, and rustic, opening with a complex and spicy nose of sliced cherries, fresh strawberries, and orange peel, complemented by deep aromas of nutmeg, black pepper, and ripe plums. On the balanced palate, it delivers a harmonious and succulent combination of sour cherries, dark berries, and wild herbs, intertwined with hints of marzipan and savory wood notes. The finish is long and well-structured, characterized by an architectural persistence, firm, high-quality tannins, and a lightly astringent, satisfying closing edge.
