The description

Tani was the name of the grower who tended the Solatio farm on Niccolò Machiavelli’s old estate, a well-positioned property enjoying lots of sunlight. The grapes are vinified on the skins with about two weeks of maceration and frequent pumping over. The wine matures for one year in small and medium casks of French oak, and for a further three months in the bottle.

Bright ruby colour; clear raspberry jam and violet aromas with strong hints of spice; full, forthright and balanced on the palate revealing an elegant backdrop of blackberry and almond that lingers at length on the palate.
