Nose of plums and berries and with a hint of licorice. Dark fruit, mocha, chocolate, licroice, leather, tobacco, incense and lavender. There's plenty of Maremma richness and resonance in this plush, extroverted red. - Antonio Galloni

CloseThe name of our second wine from the Maremma region is gleaned from the Latin phrase Per Aspera Ad Astra — “a rough road leads to the stars”. A phrase that is also true for great wines, as greatness requires a great deal of loving work and care in the vineyards. As is the case with its “older brother” Nectar Dei, Ad Astra grows on the sun-drenched hills of our estate Mongibello delle Mandorlaie in Southern Maremma.
Ad Astra is an approachable yet simultaneously complex red wine that is also a true pleasure when enjoyed young. The respected Italian wine guide Gambero Rosso awarded Ad Astra in the past with the highest rating possible, the Tre Bicchieri (“Three Glasses”).
94 Points! Aromas of black fruits, violets, and Christmas spices followed by vanilla and baking spices with a hint of graphite undertones. Medium- to full-bodied with chewy tannins and balanced acidity. Healthy and juicy wine. Give this more time to develop. - JamesSuckling.com
