Wine Profile
Wine Profile / Tasting Notes
The color is intense ruby red with garnet shades. On the nose the wine is elegant and complex with notes of spices and vanilla. On the palate it is dry, with a soft but powerful attack, fleshy and full of silkiness. Long lasting on the palate. Longevity: 40-50 years.
Vineyard Notes
Composition of the soil: “Galestro”. Exposure of the vineyards: ovest, sud-ovest. Altitude: from 300 to 500 metres a.s.l.
Production Notes
Each grape variety is vilified separately, with a long lasting maceration (18 days) including the malolactic fermentation.
Winemaker Notes
A super-Tuscan with a great personality. Schidione, owes its name to the medieval skewers locally used to roast game, a perfect “meditation” red wine.
Food & Wine Pairing
Pares with important meat dishes and game, seasoned cheeses.
