Elegant, with typical hints of iris, rose and red berries together with balsamic notes after several years of ageing in the bottle. Balanced, pleasantly tannic and well-bodied on the palate. A wine of great authenticity to accompany pasta with elaborate sauces, red meat, truffles and soft or mature cheeses.
