Toscana IGT
The noble heart of Tuscany
Tasting notes
Deep ruby red.
Velvety, with notes of crisp red fruit, sweet oriental spices, tobacco, chocolate and balsamic, herbal hints.
Enveloping and harmonious, with a velvety, well-integrated texture. The structure is balanced, supported by pleasant freshness and fine tannins. The finish is long and elegant, echoing the spicy and balsamic notes.
