Winemaker Notes:
Made of select 100% pure Sangiovese di Toscana, at sight this wine is a deep ruby red color. The nose is wide and persistent with wonderful fruity notes. On the palate it is fruit forward and soft, with hints of fertile Tuscan earth and lush forest, and gentle tannins that are in perfect balance with the acidity of the wine. The finish is long, pleasant, and deliciously fulfilling.
A pure varietal as this Sangiovese, are usually suited to moderate aging, but are at their best when drunk young.
Pairing:
Pairs well with roasted meats, barbeque, and pasta.
