the clos style– with the grapes coming from a small vineyard with a specific calcareous subsoil and therefore the wine is only produced in
extremely small quantities. The wine produced at Sasso di Licinia is characterized by its dark fruit aromas layered with traditional
European kitchen herbs – sage, rosemary but also with tea leaves. It is a highly structured wine with a powerful tannic finish – an explosive
wine – muscular in its structure but complex in its aromatic profile.
