“Since we were children we have always challenged each other every summer to see who was the first to see a bright trail shine in the sky. We knew well that we would have cheated on the number of sightings and therefore it was mandatory to keep an eye on our eyes and the blue coat. Soon one of the two would have screamed and interrupted the silence of the night lulled only by the song of the cicadas and intermittently illuminated by the fireflies.”
Elegant, with typical hints of iris, rose and red fruits that integrate with balsamic notes after a few years of aging in the bottle.
Balanced and rightly tannic, structured al taste.
A very typical wine that accompanies pasta with elaborate sauces, red meats, truffles, soft and aged cheeses.
