This Italian red wine is made from 70% Montepulciano 70% and 30% Sangiovese grown by Nummaria. The grapes were aged in a wooden barrel and a cask for 12 months, so the wine offers a rich and complex palate with silky tannins. It is excellent to pair with white meats with stuffing, duck with black truffles and venison with chestnuts.
