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.
Spring delivered high temperatures and little rainfall which brought flowering ahead to mid-May. Summer continued on a warm trend, though not too hot, and led to optimum ripening of the grapes. ->
