 Ruby red color with delicate purple inflections. Intense aromas, with hints of wild fruit and leather. Dry, intense, complex and harmonious taste.

Pair with cured meats, pasta and rice dishes, grilled beef, cheese.

About Castello di Monastero:

 Over the last 15 years, Lionello Marchesi has garnered worldwide acclaim for his Tuscan wines. Marchesi's achievements in viticulture, enology and agro-tourism began in 1984 with the purchase of a medieval village in the noble Montepulciano region.
Today, Marchesi brings knowledge and anthusiasm to all of his current Tuscan properties: Castello do Monastero, Coldsole, and Poggio alle Sughere.
Castello di Monastero produces wines from the classified areas of Chianti and Chianti Classico, as well as the acclaimed Super-Tuscan offering, Infinito.
