Notes on the Wine
Maremma DOC is a fast-rising star on the Italian wine scene. Based on the Super Tuscan blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, it sparkles with a freshness of fruit and a lively, dancing character.

Ideal with grilled meats, steaks and game meats. Delicious with food, it’s perfect as an everyday drinking wine.
