AGING
Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place in 50-hectoliter concrete vats. The wine then ages 9 months in second-passage large cask and a further 9 months in second-passage barriques. Before bottling, it returns to concrete for an additional 3 months, completing an aging path designed to preserve balance, freshness, and expressive precision.
AROMAS
The nose opens with elegance and depth. Notes of ripe cherry and violet emerge, accompanied by sweet spices and light balsamic hints. The aromatic profile is complex yet harmonious, with a clear territorial imprint.
PALATE
The attack is decisive and then stretches out with strength and balance. Structure is supported by excellent freshness and ripe tannins, which carry the sip with continuity and precision, creating a long, coherent tasting.
FOOD PAIRING
Ideal with medium-aged cheeses and the great dishes of Tuscan tradition. It performs at its best with bistecca alla fiorentina, while also pairing elegantly with red meats and structured preparations.
