Cabernet Sauvignon (45%), Cabernet Franc (30%), Merlot (25%)
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✭

A great wine. The wine shows a beautiful and brilliant ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little transparency. The nose denotes personality, with intense, elegant and clean aromas such as black cherry, carob, cherry, chocolate, plum jam, eucalyptus, strawberry, licorice, blueberry and vanilla. In mouth reveals an excellent correspondence to the nose and an excellent balance since the first moments. Intense flavors and tannins which already have a good level of aging. The finish is persistent with pleasing flavors of plum and black cherry. A wine which will give its best with a further aging in bottle, however it is drinkable already. Maurizio Zanella is aged in barrique for 15 months.
