The Story
This exceptional and highly authentic Tuscan red wine opens with a fine, elegant bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild forest berries, and fresh violet petals, beautifully accented by hints of savory dark chocolate, loamy earth, and subtle baking spices. On the medium-bodied palate, it showcases wonderful structural harmony and a sleek texture, pairing its juicy core of red fruits with an uplifting, vibrant acidity and firm, very well-integrated tannins. The finish is stylish, dry, and rewardingly long.
Food Pairing: A classic food-friendly companion that pairs flawlessly with cheesy wood-fired pizzas, rich tomato-based pasta dishes, slow-cooked beef stews, and aged Pecorino cheese.
91 Points - James Suckling
Notes of ripe red and dark fruit, toasted spices, cocoa and hints of undergrowth. Medium- to full-bodied, deep and succulent on the palate, with firm tannins. Dry and little chewy at the end. Drink or hold.
90 Points - Wine Enthusiast
The nose offers aromas of tangerine peel, citrus blossom, cherry and strawberry, before the tang of graphite, pencil shavings and pepper joins. More cherry on the palate before the peppery earthiness returns for balance, with warming acid and firm, taut tannins.
