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 of Sangiovese, and some international variety i.e. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The aging takes place in stainless steel and cement tanks.
