Region: Frescobaldi

Grape Variety: Sangiovese, Merlot (Chianti)

Alcohol: 12.5%

Volume: 750ml

A splendid purple-red, with violet highlights

The nose lays out intense aromas of bright red fruit, such as wild strawberry and redcurrant, followed by lovely, pungent notes of anise and cinnamon plus subtle hints of cocoa powder.

In the mouth, a lengthy, slow-paced progression is accompanied by superb structure, an emphatic acidity, and dense, well-integrated tannins. The finish is nicely fruit-laden.

Ideal with game such as hare and boar, with roasted or sauteed beef, roast of pork, as well as with full-flavoured cheeses.
