The combination of territory, grape selection, and winemaking interpretation results in an authoritative style, typical of Sangiovese from Chianti Classico: identity-driven, territorial, and capable of uniting aromatic depth and gustatory lift. Aging in Hungarian oak, with a small portion of French wood, helps refine the profile without altering its character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a ruby red color.
