Information
Deep red in colour, multifaceted and intriguing. It has a particularly rich
aroma of sweet blackcurrant juice and candied violet. On the palate, the
structure of the tannins is well balanced between the strength of
Sangiovese and the roundness of ripe Cabernet. One of the most classic
wine blends for a highly flexible table wine, to be served throughout a
meal with all earthy dishes.
