Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Riserva unfolds with structured tannins and vibrant acidity, showcasing a refined elegance that lingers long. The finish is persistent and savory, a testament to the Sangiovese's inherent character and the wine's careful aging. This exceptional wine is a perfect companion to classic Tuscan fare such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu, or a hearty lentil soup. It also shines alongside aged Pecorino cheese or a simple, perfectly grilled pork tenderloin.
