The Rigoloccio Abundantia Maremma Toscana is a pure Merlot with a concentrated ruby red color, produced entirely in barriques. It is aged for 18 months in French oak barriques to enhance its characteristics and highlight its particularly intense and persistent aromas. This is followed by bottle aging for at least 10 months. Maceration and fermentation take place at a controlled temperature (28°C) for 24 days, with pump-overs and whisking.

- Bouquet: Strong aromas of Marasca cherry, plums, violets and sweet spices
