One of the first Bordeaux blends in Italy and still one of the best. Conte Loredan Gasparini has been vinifying this classic from the Alta Marca Trevigiana, just 50 kilometres from Venice, since 1951. The Montello area, declared a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 2016, offers ideal conditions for Bordeaux grape varieties with its ferrous clay soils (Ferreto) and cool microclimate. The cuvée combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec – a quartet that has found its northern Italian interpretation here for decades. Eighteen months of ageing in Slavonian oak barrels lend depth without dominating.

Dark, bright ruby red in the glass. Truffle, ripe blackberry, tobacco and dark spices on the nose – inviting and complex. Powerful and multi-layered on the palate, with a juicy body and fine tannins that linger for a long time. A wine with cool precision and historical soul. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark shining ruby red colour, dark. Smells wonderfully of truffle, ripe blackberry, some tobacco, then many more dark spicy notes, inviting. Very savoury on the palate, compact, comes in many layers, with a powerful body, good juiciness on the finish, lingers for a long time." Falstaff

"An intense and complex wine with cool-climate style and precision, full of flavours of leather, dark cassis, leaves, earth and game with a hint of wood. It is full-bodied, has a high density, firm yet velvety tannins and a very refreshing acidity. It is deep and flavourful." James Suckling
