Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright ruby color with youthful vibrancy. The nose leans toward red cherry, wild berries, violet, and subtle herbal and earthy notes, while the palate is fresh, balanced, and medium-bodied, with fine tannins and lively acidity carrying flavors of red fruit, spice, and a gentle savory edge. The Merlot component adds a touch of roundness and approachability, making the wine especially appealing in its youth, though it should also develop nicely over the next few years. Its structure and freshness suggest graceful short- to medium-term aging.

Production
Sourced from vineyards in Chianti Classico, where limestone-rich and well-drained soils help preserve the tension and precision that define the appellation. The estate works with careful harvest selection to bring in healthy, ripe fruit, and fermentation is typically carried out with a focus on expressing purity of fruit, finesse, and regional character. The blend of Sangiovese with Merlot creates a wine that balances traditional Tuscan structure with a softer, more supple texture.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile food wine that pairs naturally with tomato-based pasta dishes, roast chicken, grilled pork, Tuscan-style sausages, and aged pecorino. It also works beautifully with mushroom dishes and herb-roasted vegetables. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 20–30 minutes can help open up the wine if enjoyed young.
