Sommelier Suggestion We recommend pouring the wine into the decanter for a few hours to allow it to aerate and awaken all the aromas. This wine is one of the great Italian red wines particularly suitable for ageing. Remarkable already if drunk now, but we suggest to let it rest in the cellar to reach a full and harmonious maturity, with important aromatic evolutions. Ageing capacity of over 20 years.
Tasting Notes In the glass, it has an intense ruby red colour with a garnet hue. The nose is intense and complex with light hints of plum, violet cherry and ripe undergrowth fruit, intense but balanced are the hints of spice, black pepper and vanilla and cinnamon, chocolate and sweet tobacco. In the mouth it is tannic but not aggressive, velvety and warm, the flavours in the mouth mirror the nose, preserving delicacy, complexity, very balanced.
Pairing Advice
Pairing It elegantly accompanies dishes with game, important red meats such as steaks or stewed meats, and is also very much appreciated with slightly matured or very matured fresh cheeses.
