About this wine

Grapes

Predominantly Sangiovese.

Vinification

Ageing

Technical data

Alcohol: approximately 13.5%.

Tasting profile

Ruby red with light garnet nuances. The broad, sweet and fruit-led bouquet combines distinct vanilla notes with spicy phenolic aromas. Medium in tannic structure, the palate opens with a sweet impression and develops a full mid-palate supported by lively acidity. The finish is persistent and fruity.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 18–19°C. Pair with simple red-meat dishes, mushrooms, pâté and mature dry cheeses.
