Quadriga, a “chariot carried by four horses”, is an ancient Italian symbol of triumph. Celebrating our Italian heritage, we created a proprietary blend of Sangiovese, Primitivo, Barbera, and Dolcetto. The nose is serenaded with a bouquet of raspberries, strawberries, and bright red fruits, complemented by gentle undertones of lavender, mocha, and sweet vanilla. As it graces the palate, this wine reveals deeper layers of cherry and dark plums. The mid-palate, bursting with blueberries and toasted hazelnuts, seamlessly transitions into a finish marked by fruit-forward notes and the indulgent allure of malted chocolate.
