WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The name of our second wine from the Maremma region is gleaned from the Latin phrase Per Aspera Ad Astra — “a rough road leads to the stars”. A phrase that is also true for great wines, as greatness requires a great deal of loving work and care in the vineyards. As is the case with its “older brother” Nectar Dei, Ad Astra grows on the sun-drenched hills of our estate Mongibello delle Mandorlaie in Southern Maremma.
TASTING NOTES:
Aromas of black fruits, violets, and Christmas spices followed by vanilla and baking spices with a hint of graphite undertones. Medium- to full-bodied with chewy tannins and balanced acidity. Healthy and juicy wine.
