The name of this wine is a tribute to our children (Micol and Lorenzo). It also means my color in Tuscan. This wine has been thought as a dining wine, simple with fruity and persistent notes. The grapes used for this wine come from our youngest vineyards and are 85% Sangiovese, 15% of international variety i.e. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The aging takes place in stainless steel and cement tanks.
