Product notes

From the rolling hills of Tuscany, on clay-limestone soils shaped by a mild Mediterranean climate, Cum Laude reflects the elegance of its terroir. The nose reveals notes of black fruit, ripe cherry, and sweet spice. The palate is full, structured, and harmonious, with silky tannins and a long, flavourful finish. “Cum Laude” means “with honors” in Latin, a nod to excellence.

Tasting notes

It has an intense mauve color. On the nose, red fruits, cherry, and small fruits emerge, accompanied by well-balanced spicy notes of licorice and pepper. In the mouth, the structure is broad, with sweet and powerful tannins balanced with a persistent finish. The wine has great aging potential.
