This is an organic blend of Mourvedre and Carignan grown on clay-limestone soils. The grapes are handpicked and after selective sorting there is a short period of skin maceration and then carbonic maceration. Ageing takes place in concrete for 8 months. The wine is richly concentrated with fragrances of wild herbs, red fruits and floral expressions on the nose. Intense flavours of dark berry fruits and woodland hints on the palate, backed by subtle spice and velvety ripe tannins.

Named after another of Sting’s songs, the latest addition to the Tenuta il Palagio cellar is When We Dance, a DOCG Chianti, made predominantly with Sangiovese, with small quantities of Canaiolo and Colorino. It is a great value Chianti that has true class in abundance.
