Aged 24 months new French oak barriques

The Cuvée Constance is the estate’s most ambitious and rarest sweet wine

The wine possesses an opaque black/ruby/purple color

with very low yields producing wines of exceptional concentration and tension that have developed beautifully over the decade since harvest

Soft and caressing

crushed rocks and flowers

with very fine-grained tannins and very good balance

Le Difese occupies an important and expanding market position as the most accessible wine from one of Italy’s most celebrated estates: a wine that allows collectors

the variety’s natural resistance to over-ripeness and the estate’s low-intervention vinification in demi-muids produces a white wine of extraordinary mineral concentration

For Sandrone

The domaine’s use of larger barrel formats and non-interventionist winemaking philosophy ensures that the character of the Premier Cru terroir is expressed with minimal cosmetic influence
