Wine description
An extraordinary lot that allows tasting and comparing two great vintages in the perfect Magnum format:
Vintage 2009: Presents 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. Offers pronounced aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant, Mediterranean scrub and cacao. On the palate it displays a substantial structure, silky tannins and great freshness.
Glassware and serving temperature
Recommended glass: A large balloon or grand ballon to promote perfect aeration of the wines.
Serving temperature: 16°C – 18°C. It is recommended to open at least 1-2 hours before tasting (especially for vintage 2009, considering the use of a decanter).
Food pairings
Perfect lot for accompanying important meals based on red grilled meats, Florentine steak, braised dishes, wild game (wild boar and venison stews) and selections of aged cheeses such as Pecorino Toscano DOP.
