Tasting Notes
Expect a bright ruby-red color with inviting depth in the glass. The nose typically opens with red cherry, wild berry, violet, and subtle spice, followed by hints of earthy Tuscan herbs and fine oak nuances. On the palate, it is poised and layered, with juicy red fruit, fresh acidity, polished tannins, and a savoury finish that reflects its Sangiovese core. This is a wine built for graceful development, with the structure and balance to age well over the next several years. As it matures, the fruit will likely deepen and the savory, mineral elements become more pronounced.

Production
Produced in Tuscany’s Chianti Classico zone, the wine draws character from vineyards that benefit from the region’s sunny days, cool nights, and well-drained soils that help preserve freshness in Sangiovese. Grapes are typically harvested with careful selection to ensure ripeness and balance, then vinified with an emphasis on varietal purity, structure, and finesse. Aging is used to round out the tannins and integrate the wine’s aromatic complexity.

Food & Serving
Serve at 16–18°C to show the wine’s fragrance and balance at their best. It pairs beautifully with bistecca alla fiorentina, roasted lamb, game, porcini mushrooms, and mature hard cheeses. Decanting for around 30–60 minutes is recommended, especially if opening it young, to allow the aromas and tannins to खुलfully open.
