WINE DESCRIPTION

Cultivated at Collazzi, the Petit Verdot showcases a unique complexity and intensity under meticulous care. The manual selection of each bunch in the vineyard further enhances its distinctive character. The potential of the Ferro vineyard was unveiled during the 2010 harvest. Its power and distinctive aroma inspired the creation of the eponymous wine, exclusively crafted from Petit Verdot. Despite being commonly recognized as a valuable component in creating blends of excellence, in this instance, it takes center stage, allowing itself to stand out. The wine, rich and charming with incredible longevity and aromatic freshness, undergoes a prolonged fermentation in new French oak wood, contributing to its overall structure and perfume enrichment. Tasting "Ferro" is a genuine sensorial experience, marked by its intense color, mature, velvety, and balanced taste, and an enduring and elegant finish.
