Ilex is an IGT produced in barrique, a good solid table wine, recommended for wine bars. A delicate, elegant, seductive wine, with a rounded flavour and sweet notes.

Intense ruby red hues come with decisive tannins and a mineral hint that makes the finish long and vibrant. Nose notes of black berry fruit jam combine with moist slightly peaty hints. The blackberry notes follow through to the palate.

Aged in second-fill French oak barriques for twelve months and in the bottle for three months. 100% Sangiovese Grosso.
