An elegant aromatic profile of sour cherry, strawberry and violet. The palate is fresh and harmonious, with lively acidity and well-integrated tannins.
Vintage notes and pairing
The 2025 season was complex but favourable, with adequate winter rain, a cool unstable spring, early summer heat and later temperature fluctuations that preserved freshness and aromatic complexity. Served chilled, the wine suits pasta alla norma, roasts, grilled meats, seafood stew and Livornese cacciucco.
