The palate is elegant and structured, delivering black plum, ripe black cherry, star anise, and crushed mint, supported by firm, polished tannins and bright acidity. An earthy hint of game adds depth to its long finish. 【A flat out stunner and one of the first single-vineyard bottlings in Chianti Classico, built for cellaring.】 Food pairing suggestions: This robust red pairs exceptionally well with rich Tuscan dishes such as bistecca alla fiorentina, wild boar ragù, or aged pecorino cheese.
