🍴 Food Pairing: A classic match for traditional Tuscan cuisine such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu, rich pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces, or aged Pecorino cheese. For an Eastern pairing, consider a hearty Korean bulgogi or a robust Cantonese braised beef with star anise.
🥂 Fit for Event: Perfect for a rustic Italian-themed dinner, a gathering with friends who appreciate mature Sangiovese, or as a special bottle to enjoy with a hearty meal.
Serving: As a wine with over a decade of age, some sediment may be present. Stand the bottle upright for at least 24 hours before serving. A gentle decant for 60-90 minutes is recommended to allow the wine to breathe and separate any sediment. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F). Handle the cork and capsule with care.
