Inspired by the Bordeaux Tradition, Carlo Ferrini’s greatest achievements are red wines that are lush and fruit-driven, thanks to the careful attention he dedicates to grape quality. They are modern with excellent extraction, yet they remain expressions of a specific territory. He believes in making wines that taste great when they are young, but also show an important potential for aging. He once said that he could imagine working in the vineyard without the winery, but never in the winery without a vineyard..
