Palate & Finish
02On the palate, the wine unfolds with a vibrant acidity and firm, yet refined tannins, leading to a long, elegant finish. Flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and a whisper of earthy minerality dance on the tongue, leaving a lingering impression of Tuscan sunshine. This Riserva is an ideal companion for classic Florentine steak, slow-cooked lamb stew, pappardelle with wild boar ragu, or aged Pecorino cheese.
