The flagship wine from th portfolio is a Super Tuscan blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon called Alcide. The Sangiovese grapes are sourced from vineyard plots in both Morellino and Lajatico, the latter planted some 70 years ago. Lajatico is also the birthplace of the estate’s varietal Cabernet Sauvignon wine, In Canto, which is produced from 10-year-old vines. Other notable wines include a Prosecco from the northeastern region of Veneto, produced in collaboration with selected growers from the region.
