Tasting Notes:
Three native grapes: Sangiovese, Montepulciano and Sagrantino from three fundamental regions in the Italian wine scene. The bet was to co-ferment them on the same frequency, that of the parallel 43, a tuning that has the ambition to find the maximum balance and create a "perfect individual", a sort of fermentative metamorphosis of three apparently distant but , in the final result, very similar.
