It’s the quintessential Tuscan red for your cellar or your next gourmet dinner.

Sommelier Tasting Profile

• Color: Deep, intense ruby red, developing distinguished garnet hues with bottle age.
• Nose: Complex and captivating. Expect intense aromas of ripe black cherry and raspberry, beautifully interwoven with sophisticated notes of vanilla, tobacco leaf, and fine leather, a testament to its oak maturation.
• Palate: Full-bodied, generous, and velvety. The wine showcases the vibrant acidity inherent to Sangiovese, which is perfectly balanced by firm, polished tannins. The finish is long, warm, and persistent, delivering spicy undertones and enduring elegance.

Food Pairing & Service

This is a steak wine, period. It’s built to cut through rich, savory flavors. Pair it with a classic Florentine T-Bone Steak or a slow-cooked ragù. Decant for one hour and serve at 60-65°F (16-18°C) to unlock its full aromatic potential. Stock up on this Italian staple!
