Pairings: Ideal with red meat dishes, such as beef fillet, game, and roasts. It also pairs perfectly with aged cheeses and truffle-based dishes, enhancing the wine's complexity. Also excellent with rich stews and pasta dishes with meat sauce.

Terroir: The vineyards are located at varying altitudes and on soils rich in limestone and clay, which are ideal for expressing the maximum characteristics of the Sangiovese Grosso. The microclimate of Montalcino, with significant temperature fluctuations, contributes to aromatic concentration and tannin quality, giving the wine its typical structure and aging capacity.

Vinification: The harvest is carried out manually, carefully selecting the best grapes. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks, with long maceration to extract aromas and tannins. This is followed by aging for approximately 36 months in large oak barrels, which imparts complexity and roundness to the wine, ensuring an elegant evolution and a unique organoleptic profile.
