La Sabla® 50 anni

D.O.P.

La Sabla, was the first wine to be presented by the Charrère family and then vinified as a special edition, La Sabla 50 anni, in 1970 by Costantino in honour of his father. Always considered to be the most typical expression of the territory, that values the qualities of the vineyard. To celebrate its annivesary, from our most important vineyards, we source this limited edition of La Sabla 50 anni, that blends together Petit Rouge, Fumin, Syrah and Merlot and a small amount of late harvest Fumin. Its long ageing, 2 years in oak and 2 years in stainless steel, will showcase the full potential of this blend and its versatility.
