Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Riserva offers a dry, savory experience, its firm tannins beautifully integrated with notes of plum and a touch of bittersweet almond. The finish is remarkably persistent, leaving a lingering impression of earthiness and sun-baked herbs. This wine is an ideal companion to Tuscan classics such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragù, or aged Pecorino cheese. It also shines alongside hearty pasta dishes like Pappardelle al Cinghiale or a simple yet flavorful roast lamb.
