Description

Only the best grapes contribute to the creation of this wine, whose name evokes the grandeur of the mighty Jupiter Elicius, an epithet that means God of lighting. Obtained from a blend of Montepulciano (locally known as Morellone) and Sagrantino grape varietals, this smooth and elegant wine is aged for 18 to 24 months in a combination of medium toasted French barrels and Slavonian oak casks, and refined at least another 24 months in bottle.
