Tasting notes
Tasting notes from Ernesto Gentili: A lively and intense ruby red with garnet tints. Mature and fruity on the nose, with notes of Amarena cherries, raspberries and a hint of roasted aromas. Powerful, substantial and vibrant on the palate. The alcoholic influence contrasts with the lively acidity typical of this grape variety, and the presence of energetic tannins. The young age of this wine does not mean it is light and soft, and this is compensated for by its original character, which invites discovery after a period of further bottle ageing.
Serving suggestions
This wine, which is rich in contrasts, does not reveal itself in its entirety in a simple tasting – it reaches its full potential alongside a meal. The vitality and structure of this red really comes into its own together with grilled meat (e.g. bistecca alla fiorentina).
Serving temperature: 16-18 ° C
