“Your Merlot is certainly worthy to be presented by itself, but why not add to it the complexity of your Cabernet?” asked an old friend from France. Graziana Grassini answered with this wine, born on a “clos” named “Campo del Pari” because it lies on a flat field on top of a hill.

This wine is the result of careful selection in the vineyard and meticulous aging in the cellar, designed to enhance its balance, structure, and stability.

Elegant and powerful, it combines the spicy and balsamic aromas of Merlot with a rich complexity and a soft, lingering finish.
