Winemaker’s recommendations
Although not classed as a Riserva, with its immensely refined organoleptic qualities, generous body and extensive ageability, it has the characteristics to be a great companion of full flavored entrees such as roasts and game. Stored properly it can age for 5/6 years.
Serve at 18/20 °C. ABV: 13,5%
