Rosso del Ticino DOC

2020

Own production

The combination of our Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes gives rise to this Ticinese interpretation of a classic Bordeaux blend. The result is a harmonious, structured red wine that marries the strength of the Sopraceneri with the elegance of the Sottoceneri.

Important: while stocks last, bottles may differ from the displayed image and have the historical Terreni alla Maggia label
