Tasting notes
Montesodi 2015: ruby red, with garnet reflections. It appears intense, fres, mineral, with citrus scents, cherry blossoms,
violet. Corrispondence between gustatory and taste evalutation. Persistent, mineral, with atoasted and silky tannin. Note
of sour cherry in alcohol, hints of candied cedar and red orange. Hints of coffee powder, fruity notes of white-paste stone
fruit. Tasted in January 2018.

Wine pairing: Outstanding with grilled meats, and the ideal partner to bistecca alla fiorentina.
