Fattoria della Aiola

An Aiola’s take on «Super Tuscan», made from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, with a harmonious balance of rich and soft flavours, this wine brings out the best of each grape characteristics but with the unquestionable spirit of Toscana. «Rosso del Senatore» spends at least 24 months in French oak bar- rels and over 3 months in bottles.
