Elena Pozzolini, the winemaker, explained that Scipio was the General that defeated Hannibal. This wine, clearly defeated all other wines tonight. Floral notes on the nose. Black fruit with a leathery texture and a long elegant finish violets and licorice.

Deep, spicy, vibrant cab franc with great integration of oak characteristics and well resolved tannin. Stony minerality; slightly hot, but otherwise fantastic
