Details

An elegant, full-bodied wine, Alauda is a harmonious sum of its parts. Rich with varietal flavors of plum and cherry from the Merlot and layered with ripe berry flavors from the Cabernet Franc, and unique balsamic and dark chocolate notes from the Colorino. The extended oak aging process integrates the blend while providing tertiary flavors of sweet spice and soft, elegant tannins for a lingering finish. This wine will age gracefully for decades.

Produced only in exceptional vintages, this blend of 40% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot, and 25% Colorino is sourced from
Ruffino’s prestigious Tuscan estates Montemasso and
Poggio Casciano. As inky violets bloom from the glass, they
uplift a sensational perfume that morphs with juicy, sweet
cherries and a sensuous thread of chocolate. Licorice creates a creamy sensation on the palate as abundant acidity links with the magic of sweet spice on the finish.

Dark and brooding, featuring plum, black cherry, coffee, chocolate and herbal flavors intertwined with the dense structure. Clamps down on the finish now, but extends, loosening the grip as the spice and coffee notes reaffirm themselves. Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Colorino. Best from 2021 through 2033.
