Winy bouquet with violet and tobacco notes.
It is a dry and balanced wine with the typical classic Sangiovese taste: robust and structured with a persistent and slightly bitter aftertaste.

It should be served in a broad and transparent crystal wine glass at a temperature of about 16°-18°C. We suggest to uncork the bottle one hour before serving, in order to enhance its qualities.
It can be perfectly paired with main courses with meat sauce, white meat, young or mid-aged cheeses.
