The structured, graceful palate weaves together red cherry, crushed raspberry, cinnamon and a balsamic note. It’s impeccably balanced with firm but polished tannins and bright acidity that provide an age-worthy framework.' 95/100 (Wine Enthusiast) | Food: Braised meats, stewed game, roasts and mature cheeses such as pecorino and Parmigiano Reggiano. |
