Deep ruby red, suggestive nose of plums and berries and with a hint of licorice; a fine wine with a complex bouquet, medium body, fresh and long finish. Excellently suited to all variations of fish and different appetizers.
50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot. Aged for 14 months n new (10%) and used Barrique and Tonneaux barrels made out of finest French oak, a few months in concrete to blend the different varieties.
The name of our most successful wine Ad Astra is gleaned from the Latin phrase Per Aspera Ad Astra — “a rough road leads to the stars”. A phrase that is also true for great wines, as greatness requires a great deal of loving work and care in the vineyards. Ad Astra grows in our property in Maremma called Mongibello delle Mandorlaie between Scansano and Magliano in Toscana, 8 km away from the sea at an altitude of 250m. The vineyards lie in the Morellino di Scansano DOCG area. All vineyards are certified organic.
James Suckling Review:
Aromas of black fruits, violets, and Christmas spices followed by vanilla and baking spices with a hint of graphite undertones. Medium- to full-bodied with chewy tannins and balanced acidity. Healthy and juicy wine. Give this more time to develop.
