Tasting notes
The eye is first impressed by a dense, violet-flecked purple red, and the nose is no less complex, releasing clean-edged impressions of dark cherry, wild strawberries, and raspberries, attractively complemented by spicy nuances of roasted espresso bean, cocoa, baker’s chocolate, and vanilla. The palate shows alcoholic warmth, silky texture, and remarkable depth, with a mouth-filling suite of fine-grained tannins. The lengthy finish is subtly aromatic, with tasty notes of fruit in evidence.

Rating
"This super Tuscan blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese delivers rich softness and a plush, approachable style. You can’t help but love those decadent layers of chocolate, spice and cherry liqueur." Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points

Ideal with game such as hare and boar, with roasted or sautéed beef, roast of pork, as well as with full-flavoured cheeses.
