Its deep, inky red colour will seduce you, inspiring calm and reflection. The refined nose profile hints at autumn leaves and ripe fruit unfolding to reveal raspberry and spices, with notes of coffee, tobacco and cocoa powder in the finale. The wine is full-bodied and well-structured but never aggressive, with the time spent in the wood adding a hint of spice in the close, and the note of cocoa powder accentuating and underscoring the roundness and a stunning balance.
The wines then mature for 6 months in concrete vats, and the part of them destined to become Reserve is left for a further 15 months in French and Slavonian oak tonneaux (precisely 40% in first-passage oak and 60% in second-passage), followed by 6 months in the bottle.
Culinary Recommendation: To serve at 17 - 18 C. Good match with Calf filet with crispy bacon in Montepulciano sauce
