A vibrant ruby-red colour, hinting at its depth and complexity. The nose is immediately captivating, revealing a layered bouquet of ripe red cherries, plums, and blackberries intertwined with subtle notes of violets, tobacco, and a touch of spice. A delicate oak influence adds further complexity, contributing hints of vanilla and toasted nuts.
This Gran Selezione is elegant and powerful on the palate, showcasing a beautiful structure with firm yet refined tannins and vibrant acidity. The flavours mirror the aromas, with juicy red fruit dominating, followed by a lingering finish of spice, earthy notes, and a refreshing minerality. This wine pairs exceptionally well with rich, savoury dishes such as roasted meats (especially wild boar or game), Florentine steak, and aged cheeses. It also complements hearty pasta dishes with meat sauces and truffle-infused preparations.
