The story
The magistral dignity is the highest office of the Order of Malta: a father and a commander. It was adopted in the 12th century, under Fra’ Raymond du Puy, named Master by Pope Innocent II.
From then on the word designated the leader of those men devoted to caring for the needy and defending the Faith, gathered not far from the Holy Sepulchre. The red blend that bears this name is born at Castello di Magione from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese grapes.
Aged in tonneaux. In production since 2000.
Around 6,600 bottles.
