The Tasting

A guided note in three moments, by our curators

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    This Gran Selezione presents a luminous ruby red, hinting at its youthful vigor, with a complex bouquet of ripe cherry, wild raspberry, and a whisper of dried violet, underscored by subtle notes of leather and earthy truffle. The aromas are both inviting and profound, characteristic of a Sangiovese that has matured gracefully.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, it offers a vibrant acidity that balances the rich, savory flavors of dark plum and a touch of bitter almond, leading into a remarkably long, persistent finish with fine-grained tannins. The texture is silken yet firm, a testament to the meticulous winemaking that defines this prestigious appellation.

  3. At the Table

    03

    This wine is a superb companion for grilled Florentine steak, slow-braised wild boar ragu, aged Pecorino cheese, or a classic Pappardelle al Cinghiale. It also excels alongside roasted lamb with rosemary or a hearty mushroom risotto.
