This wine is the result of an accurate fermentation including skins of Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Merlot grapes. After four years in oak barrels and at least six months refinement in bottle, the wine takes on a wonderful ruby red colour with an abundant and austere bouquet, rich in fruit and vanilla aromas. Its taste is full, dru and velvety, it is indeed a strong personality in itself. It matches well with roasts, feathered game and with the best tomato-based dishes of Italian cuisine. To be served at 18-20°C (64-68°F).
