Excelsus, "ambitious", is a Supertuscan that beautifully expresses the best tradition of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the Montalcino region.
The two varieties are vinified separately with maceration between 8 and 18 days, and fermentation is completed in hybrid Horizon steel tanks and French oak.
For the first 12-14 months, they age separately in French oak barrels and then are blended and aged as a cuvée for an additional 8 to 10 months. Then, it ages in the bottle for at least 6 months.
On the nose, it has a bold, dynamic character with complex notes of spiced jam, smoke, and coffee. On the palate, its full splendor unfolds, with a full body, sweet tannins, and a long finish that retains subtle hints of plum, black raisin, and cedar. It is suitable for long aging.
Food pairing: Ideal with red meats and aged cheeses.
