Tasting note
Black cherry, blackberry, plum, leather, and mineral notes are beginning to turn toward woodsy, dried-fruit character while the wine remains fresh and balanced.
The 2019 vintage
The Riserva is drawn from vineyards at 230 to 400 meters with varied exposures and clay-rich soils marked by alberese and colombino stone.
About Fattoria Viticcio
The 2019 is 90% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot, and 5% Syrah, fermented in stainless steel with a 20-day maceration and aged for two years across barrique and Slavonian oak.
From the cellar: pair with
Bistecca alla fiorentina
The wine's Sangiovese-led acidity and leathered savory notes can handle a grilled, mineral-rich steak.
Wild-boar ragu
Dried-fruit and woodsy characteristics complement a slow-cooked game sauce without making the pairing sweet.
Pecorino Toscano
The cheese's salty, nutty character gives the red's tannin and acidity a focused counterpoint.
