Tasting profile

Vibrant red berry fruits (cherry, cranberry), subtle spicy notes, fresh herbal hints and mild earthiness with a slightly firm tannic grip.

Evolution: With a couple years in bottle, fruit will become more integrated, tannins soften, and tertiary notes of dried herbs, tobacco and gentle leather will emerge.

At peak: Fully integrated red fruit with complex spice, silky tannins, and balanced acidity providing a smooth, refined finish.

Structure

Acidity

Medium to medium-high, giving freshness and aging backbone

Tannins

Moderate, firm but approachable; typical of quality Tuscan reds from a fresh vintage

Alcohol

Approximately 13.5%-14%, well integrated

Aging potential

6-8 years from vintage with proper cellaring

Drinking window

Peak drinking

2025 to 2028

Optimal window

2024 to 2030

Current status

Approaching early maturity, ready to drink but can benefit from short-term aging

Current condition

Youthful with good fresh fruit and structure, some tannins resolving

The peak from 2025 to 2028 represents the period when primary fruit aromas mellow and evolve into mature secondary and tertiary notes. Tannins soften sufficiently to allow elegant texture while acidity maintains freshness. Beyond 2028, gradual decline in fruit intensity and structure may begin.

Food pairing

Pairs excellently with classic Tuscan fare such as roasted meats (lamb, pork), grilled vegetables, wild mushroom risotto, and aged pecorino cheese. As the wine evolves, it complements richer stews and game dishes.

Serving

Serving temperature

16-18°C / 61-64°F
