Bolgheri, 08:27 A.M.
First produced in 1989, this incredible wine is the symbol of the winery, and it truly epitomizes Bolgheri. At first, the wine was a classic Bordeaux blend but became a Cabernet Franc monovarietal in 2001; since then, it has been a huge success. The name “paleo” refers to a wild herb found on the Tuscan coast, and it symbolizes a strong local identity and the will to reach all goals.
The year was marked by a cool and rainy spring season, followed by an extremely droughty and dry summer. The abundant rainfall on the last week of September made the harvesting of the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes quite challenging. ->
