Ruby red color of medium intensity, on the nose it shows deep sensations of small black fruits with notes of wild blackberry and blueberry. It has a medium body, it’s enveloping with a pleasant softness, and is well balanced by the typical acidity of Sangiovese. The silky tannins are very well integrated. Nice sensations of ripe fruit and slight memories of wet soil. Aged in cement vats and stainless steel and a further 3 months in the bottle.

It pairs well with chicken dishes, medium aged cheeses, and even on its own as an aperitif.
