Palate & Finish
02On the palate, vibrant acidity dances with fine-grained tannins, revealing notes of dark plum and a hint of earthy minerality. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of sun-baked earth and a touch of leather. This wine is a superb companion to Florentine steak, wild boar ragu, aged Pecorino cheese, and a simple yet elegant truffle pasta.
