The Griffin
When awareness and experience evolve into knowledge, progress becomes exponential. Through experimentation, we achieve results that are sometimes surprisingly and wonderfully fulfilling. This is our journey with Il Grifone. Today, Montepulciano in its purest form offers us intense moments where we immerse ourselves in its essence. Soft and juicy notes of brandied plums alternate with deeper hints of black tea, followed by aromas of violets and pipe tobacco. Then the wine takes on a green hue, reminiscent of balsamic sensations and vibrant laurel leaves and green pepper. Firm and of great structure, it offers a sip to get lost in for hours
The peregrine falcon is one of the symbols of the animal biodiversity of this land. It prefers rocky walls and it has found a home among our gullies, on the slopes of our Grandi Calanchi vineyards. We toast to it is to its elegance and contempt for danger.
