Current status

Early maturity, developing complexity

Current condition

Fruit-forward with emerging tertiary notes, tannins softening

Given the grape variety Sangiovese known for good natural acidity and medium tannin, combined with vintage 2019 quality in Tuscany (marked as very good), the wine will develop well for a decade but shows best from 2025 to 2030 when tertiary complexity peaks.

Food pairing

Pairs well with roasted meats, grilled lamb, aged cheeses, mushroom risotto, and hearty pasta dishes.
