Palate & Finish
02On the palate, it offers a firm, well-integrated tannic structure that balances the bright acidity, leading to a long, persistent finish. Flavors of dark plum, black pepper, and a touch of earthy minerality unfold, showcasing the wine's depth and complexity. This wine is an ideal companion for hearty dishes such as grilled Florentine steak, slow-braised wild boar ragu, or a classic lasagna Bolognese. It also shines alongside aged Pecorino Toscano cheese and can elevate a simple roasted chicken.
