It boasts a robust, now mellowed, tannin structure that gives a velvety, rich mouthfeel. With the beautifully balanced acidity, this offering reflects its Tuscan heritage admirably. Upon tasting, one can anticipate captivating persistence and a true depth of flavour. A wine for special occasions, it marvellously pairs with red meats and rich Italian cheeses.
