A deep ruby red colour with garnet reflections. The nose is complex and alluring, offering aromas of ripe black cherries, plums, and blackberries, interwoven with notes of violet, tobacco, and a subtle hint of spice. A delicate earthiness and elegant oak nuances add further complexity to this captivating bouquet.
This Gran Selezione is dry, full-bodied, and beautifully structured on the palate, with firm yet refined tannins and vibrant acidity. The rich fruit flavours mirror the nose, leading to a long, elegant, and persistent finish. This exceptional wine pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes such as Florentine steak, roasted game, and aged cheeses. It also complements rich pasta dishes with meat sauces, particularly those featuring truffles or wild mushrooms.
