A robust red with firm tannins that immediately transports you to a groovy jazz club. We’re talking leather, tobacco and sour cherry. Obviously finished with a touch of oak for a long and elegant finish. Made from sangiovese and cabernet franc grapes, we consider this one our Amsterdam version of a Super Tuscan. How about you?

How it was made

This wine represents another one of our unique blends.On this occasion, we combined Sangiovese varieties (60%) from the Italian region of Tuscany and the French variety Cabernet Franc (40%) from the Loire valley. Sangiovese fermented and matured completely in a steel tank. Cabernet Franc fermented in a steel tank, and we matured it in a concrete tank, with the use of oak alternatives in the form of oak staves. After maturation, we performed blending and got a rounded wine with pleasant aromas of red fruit, mild acids, and a slight presence of oak notes.
