Tasting notes

The aroma is vinous, intense, with a touch of violet. The flavour is dry, ample, rich and a little tannic.

Wine maker notes

The selected large Sangiovese clone vine-stocks which are behind this red wine are cultivated in the appropriate growing areas belonging to properties in the hills surrounding Castel San Pietro and Imola. Only the best clusters are made into wine, and fermentation takes place in conditioned tanks with temperature control. This is followed by 24 months’ ageing, partly in Slavonia and Allier oak, which gives this wine an intense ruby red colour with a touch of pomegranate.

Food pairing

It is a suitable wine for richly flavoured first courses, like the classic lasagne, or else with red meat, especially when roasted, or again with game or seasoned cheeses, such as the typical Parmigiano Reggiano.
