Elegant yet powerful, the 2018 Le Stanze is all about finesse and depth. Blackcurrant, violet, and sandalwood notes jump from the glass, while the palate is smooth and structured with polished tannins. This Cabernet-Merlot blend is built to age, but already showing beautiful balance and length.

The blackcurrants and violets really come through here with hints of sandalwood on the nose. It's full-bodied with very fine tannins that run the length of the wine. Polished and long. Give it at least three or four years to come around. Try after 2025.
