Ruby red colour with light grenade shadings; fine persistent scent, , with visciola flavours and a light spiced tone. Good structured, at the taste it is balanced, harmonic, fresh and pleasantly tannic.
It is a wine suited to all courses of the traditional Tuscan cooking, but it offers also a wide possibility of other matches, from all the first courses based on pasta to soups and all second courses of white and red meats. Particularly right with Tuscan hors d’hoeuvres, soups and fresh and medium seasoned cheese.
