Characteristics:
Intense and full bodied red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot & Sangiovese. Grapes from the estate’s coastal Maremma vineyards. Maturation of 12 months in 500 litre Impruneta terracotta amphorae. The nose shows herbaceous touches, fruity hints and a spicy background. The sip is juicy and fragrant, with a sweet and relaxed finish. Contained in an attractive Bordeaux impériale bottle.

Food Pairing: 
Pasta with meat sauce, homemade pizza and lasagna. Lovely with roasted or barbecued red meats. Risotto with mushroom or porcini.
