Tasting notes
A marvellously intense, radiant and clear ruby-red colour with subtle violet hues. The nose presents lovely floral and fruity notes. Immediately apparent are hints of red and black berries, including currants, blackberry and blueberry, accompanied by delicate hints of violet flower. Citrus notes of Bergamot and chinotto oranges further emphasise its elegance. It is rich and substantial on the palate, providing a delightful tannic texture that is not overpowering. The balance between the acid and alcohol is absolutely perfect. The finish is long and persistent.
Vinification
Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. During this stage, breaking up the cap is vital to ensure perfect polyphenolic extraction.
Ageing
In oak barrels, followed by a short period in bottle.
Food pairing
Excellent with local delicacies such as Bistecca Fiorentina (Florentine Steak), risotto with meat or mushroom sauces, polenta with black truffles or with grilled vegetables, cured meat such as prosciutto and salami as well as mature cheeses.
