🌟 A majestic expression of Sangiovese in magnum format—powerful, poised, and profoundly age-worthy from one of Chianti’s most iconic crus.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep garnet with vibrant ruby edges—serious, structured, and radiant.

👃 On the Nose:
Aromatic and commanding, with wild cherry, black plum, and violet unfolding into layers of leather, cedar, Mediterranean herbs, and sweet tobacco. Subtle hints of crushed stone and balsamic underscore its complexity.

👅 On the Palate:
Full-bodied and firm yet exceptionally refined. The palate shows ripe red and black fruits, savory spice, and graphite, framed by fine, chalky tannins and a precise line of acidity. The finish is long, mineral, and endlessly evolving with every sip.

🍽 Food Pairing:
A stunning match for bistecca alla fiorentina, wild boar ragu, or truffle risotto. Also exquisite with aged Pecorino or porcini-stuffed pasta.

⏳ Enjoyment Window:
Already superb with decanting, especially from magnum—but will reach even greater heights with 10–20 years of cellaring.
