The Story
This quintessential Tuscan red wine opens with a highly expressive and traditional bouquet of sour red cherries, wild strawberries, and crushed violets, beautifully underscored by savory nuances of dried oregano, leather, tobacco leaf, and a touch of terracotta dust. On the medium-bodied palate, it showcases wonderful structural poise and rustic charm, framing its vibrant core of tart red fruits with a lively line of typical acidity and firm, fine-grained noble tannins. The finish is remarkably clean, dry, and classically savory.
Food Pairing: The ultimate companion for Italian cuisine, pairing beautifully with Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wood-fired Margherita pizzas, slow-simmered wild boar ragù, and aged Pecorino Toscano cheese.

Wine Spectator
Polished, with a floral hint to cherry and strawberry flavors, this elegant red is lacy in texture. That said, there’s ample structure, which will allow this to age over the medium term. Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo and Colorino.
