Red wine | Toscana IGT
We would melt on it with all our greenhouses out!
This Tuscan red wine wonderfully combines a large majority of Sangiovese with Bordeaux grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Perfectly dosed aging in French barrels highlights its aromas of red cherry and blackberry with elegant notes of cedar and sweet spices. Gratinated pasta or just-seared meat will be its ideal prey!
