Color : Ruby-red with garnet reflections.
Bouquet : scents of cherries, wild berry fruits, violets and spicy hints.
Flavour : Dry and fresh, with good body and agreeable tannins.
Food Matches : When young it is excellent with richly-flavoured dishes, especially the traditional specialties of Tuscan cuisine. After 3 or 4 years we recommend it with game, stewed meats, and strong, mature cheeses.
