The name L'O is evocative of fragrances, the perfume of the land and it's terroir. L'O Sangiovese Cabernet Merlot is crafted to traditional methods with a view to employing state of the art techniques where quality standards are the priority. A collation of parcels from the vineyards of Malafede, Crocino and Cipressaia, beginning September with the early ripening Merlot, finishing early October with the later harvested Cabernet and Sangiovese. Components are crushed and juices vinified for several weeks followed by a course of malolactic to soften the tannins and intergrate fruit characters. Batches are then aged in a selection of French and American oak barriques under the Argiano estate cellars before assemblage.
