Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this wine offers a beautifully balanced expression of Sangiovese, with firm, yet polished tannins and a refreshing acidity that carries through the long, elegant finish. Flavors of dark plum, earthy truffle, and a touch of minerality dance on the tongue, leaving a lingering impression of the Tuscan terroir. This Riserva is an exceptional companion to hearty Tuscan fare, such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu, or a classic pasta al pomodoro. It also shines alongside mature Pecorino cheese or grilled lamb chops.
