TASTING
NOTES AND STORAGE: Settevie - the meeting point of no fewer than seven roads - is
the old name for the hamlet where the winery is located. The
wine's style is contemporary: deep ruby red, with elegant aromas
recalling raspberries when it is young, while after maturing
in wood its bouquet becomes more balanced and refined. Opening
recommended two to six years after the vintage, though it can
be kept longer.
