TASTING NOTE
Intense ruby red. On the nose it expresses itself with strong fruity and ripe hints of red fruits, notes of violet and delicate traces of balsamic and undergrowth. In the mouth it is powerful and soft, full-bodied with delicate and well-blended tannins. It closes with mineral traces of great persistence.

COMBINATIONS
Excellent to accompany game, Florentine steak and great dishes of Tuscan cuisine.
