Rosso Sete is a red wine that celebrates the expressive freedom of an ancient blend. A combination of Sangiovese, Malvasia Nera, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc from 45-year-old vines. The result is a straightforward red, with a medium body and light tannins. A short 5-day maceration to extract color and fruit, followed by 8 months of aging in fiberglass.
