Rino Sottimano acquired this domaine in 1975 and was joined by his son Andrea in 1994. The domaine places a great emphasis on tending its vines and cultivating its various terroirs organically. Combining tradition and modernity, the domaine ages its wines in barrels, following the Burgundy method (20% in new barrels), rejecting large barrels as incompatible with the ethos of the domaine. The wines are not filtered or fined.

Produced from 45 to 55-year-old vines, this cuvée has a ruby red colour. The palate offers a wide range of aromas and there are lots of tannins. Age for some years and the tannins will become integrated into the wine. This cuvée will lift flavourful meats.
