Palate & Finish
02On the palate, it delivers a medium-bodied experience, characterized by a pleasing acidity that balances the juicy red fruit flavors and a fine-grained tannic structure. The finish is persistent and savory, leaving a lingering impression of dried herbs and a whisper of leathery complexity. This wine's versatility makes it an excellent companion for Tuscan classics like Bistecca alla Fiorentina, hearty Pappardelle al Ragù di Cinghiale, or even grilled lamb chops with rosemary. It also shines alongside aged Pecorino cheese or a simple plate of cured meats.
