The Word of the Producer

Founder and Winemaker

A Pinot Noir born above a sea of ​​clouds, where sky and ocean vie for dominance.
Here, the intense light breaks every morning, forging a wine that embodies the drama of this struggle and the primordial force of the ocean breathing below.
It is not a wine of stillness, it is a wine of pure vertigo.

Roberto Cipresso

A refined, elegant nose. It opens with wild cherry, currant, and blueberry. Sensations of green tea follow, along with notes of blood orange, pomegranate, and fig jam.

Taste-Olfactory Sensations

Tense and savoury feel, slender, vibrant finish with a highly refined tannic texture
