A vibrant, intense red color, tending toward a light garnet with aging. The intensity of the aroma grows with aging; it expresses itself in complex and varied forms, from spices to woods, from tobacco to berries. Dry, warm, with refined and aromatic tannins, great structure and remarkable harmony and roundness. Pair with rich first courses served with full-bodied sauces, sliced ??veal, Florentine steak, game, mixed roasts, wild boar, aged cheeses, and traditional Tuscan cured meats.
