Tasting Notes

A lovely, well-balanced wine on the nose, with predominantly cherry and berry notes. Velvety and generous on the palate, with sweet, soft tannins.

PAIRING: This wine will go perfectly with most dishes, and it is particularly well suited to game, grilled meats, hearty soups, and mature cheeses.

This versatile food wine would make a great gift for someone who prefers organic. It's Tuscan with a twist; share this off-the-beaten-path wine with Chianti lovers for something familiar but different.

It's an organic wine (vino biologico), made using the ancient Governo all’uso Toscano technique, a way to increase smoothness and reduce acidity in wines made from Sangiovese and other local Tuscan varieties.
