Ruby red in colour, on the nose, complexity that gives us notes of flowers and ripe fruit, accompanied by the unmistakable black pepper. In the mouth blackberry and black cherry jam.

The natural acidity of this Sangiovese and its structure go well with the traditional Florentine steak and also with mature cheeses.
