Winemaker Notes
Edizione Cinque Autoctoni is aged 13 months in barriques. Very deep garnet, with an extremely intense and persistent bouquet reminiscent of cherries and plums, ripe currant, tobacco, and toasted notes. On the palate, the wine is luscious, round and full-bodied, rich in sweet tannins, velvet-textured and extremely persistent, with a long finish of spices, vanilla, and chocolate. Edizione Cinque Autoctoni is considered to be a non-vintagee wine because the grapes are sourced from two region. As such, the winery releases this wine in Editions or Edizione.
Pairs well with red meat and game dishes with rich sauces. Excellent as a meditation wine.
Blend: 33% Montepulciano, 25% Sangiovese, 5% Malvasia Nera, 30% Primitivo, and 7% Negroamaro.

Critical Acclaim
Points 90 Wine Enthusiast
This red crosses regional boundaries to blend together five Italian grapes: Montepulciano, Sangiovese, Primitivo, Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera. Notes of coffee and cocoa ride over a brooding, dark core of blackberries on the nose. The palate is luscious yet structured, with a ripe blackberry coulis flavor surrounded by more oak spices.
