A broad yet restrained bouquet, in which the fruit (fresh plums) is dappled with floral tones of violets, sylvan ones of ferns, bark and humus, and underlying hints of iodine. The overall sensation is one of total control, class and charisma. Mineral nuances on the finish. Pair with not only the "usual" Florentine steak or rosticciana of pork. Our Riserva has vigor and intensity in spades, and can be matched wonderfully with lamb, pigeon, offal recipes, braised meats and stews; and, should one wish, it can also stand up to the powerful aromas of truffle.
