Nice expression of the classic blend Sangiovese e Canaiolo that shows a little bit of age in a nice and warm vintage. I like the ruby colour and classic perfumes of wild berries, violets and spices. Definitely the “menzione” Riserva adds prestige and structure to this wine.

Tasting
Vinification takes place after delicate crushing of the grapes. The must macerates on the skins for 1-2 weeks in order to favour the extraction of color and other polyphonic substances. Light ruby-red with garnet reflections. Fine, with scents of cherries, wild berry fruits, violets and spicy hints. Dry and fresh, with good body and agreeable tannins.
Food pairing
Nice matching with Cinghiale ragù (boar) or with a Bistecca Fiorentina and a nice Pizza
