3 WineCoins savings

The Cupa is our dearest child: sanguine, connected to the earth, sensitive and strong at the same time. A selection of the best Sangiovese grapes from the Cupa and Crocefisso vineyards, harvested at optimal ripeness, gives a powerful and elegant wine, with great structure and balance, a pure expression of Sangiovese from Torgiano (D.O.C. since 1968). A wine with a long aging potential.
