It is a 100% Merlot which owes its name to a small stream that flows near the property. When Rita and Virgilio removed two Merlot barriques from production in 1994, perhaps they didn't think they had created what would become an international cult wine.
From those vineyards planted in 1988, in the heart of the company on a slight slope, an exceptional fruit was born. Their position, the composition of the soil and the microclimates in their combination had given life to this unique wine.
First Italian wine to obtain Robert Parker's 100/100.
