The Sole e Terra blend is an energetic and dynamic blend made from the unlikely pairing of pinot noir, lemberger, and saperavi. Born from the 2018 vintage, this blend was conceptualized by taking the other red varieties we make to create an easy-drinking, bright-red fruited blend to counter our Bordeaux blends, like MC².
