These fruity aromas are complemented by hints of herbs, spices, tobacco, and subtle earthy undertones, reflecting the terroir of the Montalcino region.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with well-structured tannins that provide a smooth, velvety texture. The acidity is perfectly balanced, offering freshness while enhancing the richness of the fruit flavors.
