A powerful young Riserva! The aromas hint at an earthiness similar to porcini mushrooms, while clearly indicating the concentration of cherry fruit that comes forward on the palate. Youthful, with bright acid lifting the rich texture. Pair with pasta with red sauce, hard cheese, or grilled pork.

This has a toasty character with hints of cardamom, cloves and crushed walnuts with ripe red fruit, plum skins and red flowers in the background. It’s full-bodied with firm, chalky tannins and steady acidity to give it freshness. A little bit of toasted oak at the end. Lengthy and spiced with a crunchy finish. Better after 2025.

This aromatic red combines floral, smoky cherry and raspberry fruit with savory, vegetal notes of tomato leaf and juniper. Fleshy enough to balance the chalky tannins, leaving echoes of fruit and savory elements on the finish. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2026 through 2039. 110,000 cases made, 80,000 cases imported.
