Structure

Acidity

Medium-high acidity, providing freshness and aging backbone

Tannins

Medium firm – typical Sangiovese grip with some ripe, polished tannins expected in a blend

Alcohol

Moderate (estimated 13-14%), well integrated

Aging potential

7-10 years from vintage date

Drinking window

Peak drinking

2025 to 2029

Optimal window

2023 to 2030

Current status

Ready to drink but will benefit from short term aging

Current condition

The wine is young, fresh, with primary fruit and tannins beginning to integrate

The peak drinking period 2025–2029 allows sufficient bottle age for tannins to soften and nuanced tertiary aromas to develop. After this, fruit intensity may fade gradually, signaling the start of decline.

Food pairing

Pairs excellently with grilled meats like bistecca alla Fiorentina, roasted game birds, mature cheeses such as Pecorino Toscano, and hearty pasta dishes with ragù. As the wine ages, works well with mushroom risotto and truffle dishes.

Serving

Serving temperature

16-18°C / 61-64°F

Decant
