Notes and Pairing
Dark red colour, aromatically intense, with layers of dark red berries laced with earth, sweet tobacco, cedar and creme de cassis. The mid-palate is powerfully concentrated, loaded with lush red fruit the finish is long and lingering, with firm tannins. A balance of the traditional Sangiovese with the modern Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Excellent with meat dishes and rich pasta dishes
