Winemaker Notes
A strong ruby red with garnet tinges, this Super Tuscan is intense and dynamic. Powerful aromas of red and black berries are delicately balanced with pleasantly spicy notes. Vibrant and round, this fresh red is characterized by soft tannins and a persistent finish with hints of violet.
This wine pairs exceptionally well with Tuscan cured meats, first courses with a hearty ragù meat sauce, or a roasted Cornish hen. It can also be served alongside a tasty cheese board.
