Method of production

Niccolò V is a red wine obtained from a careful selection in the vineyard of three ancient vines that have always been cultivated in the Colli di Luni. The great qualitative potential of the grapes allows us to obtain a wine capable of supporting an important period of aging in wooden barrels and subsequently a further refinement in the bottle. The presence of the autochthonous Pollera Nera vine gives freshness and great character, the Sangiovese contributes by providing structure, strength and a correct tannic note, while the Merlot is expressed through softness and fruit.
