Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Sangiovese unfolds with a delightful balance of bright acidity and velvety tannins, leading to a persistent finish that echoes the fruit and a touch of savory spice. The texture is supple yet structured, showcasing the wine's inherent elegance and depth. This Riserva is a perfect companion to classic Tuscan dishes such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu, or a hearty lentil soup. It also shines alongside aged Pecorino cheese or a simple yet flavorful plate of pici pasta with garlic and tomato.
