I'Morino

L’Morino is the estate blend from Tenuta La Vigna, just few bottles (2000/year) for this very pleasant blend of Sangiovese (50%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (50%). Cabernet Sauvignon grapes add noblesse and ageing potential to this wine that, despite the blend with French grape, shown it Tuscan character at the first sip. It will improve with some years of ageing in bottle.
