Wine description
An extraordinary lot that allows tasting and comparing two superb vintages in the perfect Magnum format:
Vintage 2009: Exhibits a mature and evolved profile, with notes of prune jam, leather, sweet tobacco, dark spices and balsamic tertiary nuances. On the palate it is soft, warm and velvety.
Vintage 2015: Rich, intense and still vibrant. Delivers prominent aromas of sour cherry, blackberries, Mediterranean scrub and cocoa. On the palate it shows a substantial structure, silky tannins and great freshness.
Glassware and serving temperature

Serving temperature: 16°C – 18°C. It is recommended to open at least 1-2 hours before tasting (especially for the 2009 vintage, considering decanting).
Food pairings
Perfect lot to accompany important dinners based on grilled red meats, Florentine steak, braised dishes, wild game (wild boar and deer stewed) and selections of aged cheeses such as Pecorino Toscano DOP.
