Ad Astra 2022 in magnum format 1.5l

The name of our second wine from the Maremma comes from the Latin motto ‘Per Aspera Ad Astra’ – Through hardship to the stars. Great wines can only be created in accordance with this guiding principle, as they require a lot of work in the vineyard. Like its big brother Nectar Dei, Ad Astra is produced in our sun-drenched vineyards of Mongibello delle Mandorlaie in southern Maremma.

Ad Astra is an uncomplicated yet complex red wine that is also very enjoyable when young.
