More questions
Ripe red fruit and notes of cherries preserved in spirit intertwine with sensations of Mediterranean herbs and a balsamic touch, never becoming excessive. The aromatic range is supported by a well-defined tannic structure and a lively acidity that gives lift to the palate; it is a Brunello Riserva that shows concentration and purity, designed for those who appreciate structured yet restrained wines.
On the palate it confirms compactness and precision: the texture is dense yet flowing, with fine tannins that develop into a persistent, savory finish. It benefits from a few hours of decanting to open further; it pairs harmoniously with red meat dishes, roasts and aged cheeses, where its depth finds purpose and contrast. Also suitable for a cellar, it will age gracefully without losing the freshness that characterizes it.
