Podere La Pace’s seven hectares of organically grown vineyards are heavily influenced by the Gulf of Follonica and Calcareous and clayey soils. The small size of their Estate allows their team the opportunity to farm each vine individually, without compromise, and with the strictest quality standards. The 2016 vintage was sculpted with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and formed to beautifully express the fresh fruit, depth, and energy. The wine is aged 12 months in 225L French durmast oak barrels, followed by 12 months in the bottle.
Black plums, wild blackberries, orange blossom, cedar, and sweet black cherries. Full-bodied, it shows velvety tannins at the entrance to the palate and a solid finish with a remarkable voluminous structure that blends well with the vertical progression.
The wine showcases a seamless correspondence between the nose and retroactive taste that enthralls the mouth; the palate is singularly struck by the blended varieties’ elegance and freshness. The tannins are very smooth in spite of a hot vintage. Their fine make is still mildly perceptible at the end of the sip, rendering the latter lasting and pleasant. The choice of Diam corks guarantees the absence of defects in the wine.
