Note de dégustation
Nez de cerise noire, de bois de cèdre et de torréfaction pour ce vin corsé et complexe. Rafraîchissant, il possède des tannins charnus et un équilibre hors du commun.
Accord gourmand
Ce vin se marie merveilleusement bien à du poulet cacciatore ou à un navarin d'agneau. Ses fromages de prédilection sont le romano et le grana padano.
Commentaire
Ce vin est composé à 100 % de sangiovese. Mettre en carafe 60 minutes avant de servir. Prêt à boire, mais peut se conserver jusqu'en 2010.
