About this wine

A Toscana Rosso IGT super-Tuscan-style blend of Merlot, Syrah, and Petit Verdot from the Cote di Siterno estate facing the Gulf of Lacona. Aged at least 24 months in oak tonneaux and 6 months in bottle, it is Acquabona's most powerful and international-styled red.

Beginner's Note

A bold, internationally styled red — best suited to those who already enjoy full-bodied Merlot-Syrah blends.

Sommelier's Note

"Voltraio shows that Elba can play the super-Tuscan game as convincingly as the mainland — this is Acquabona's power statement."

Food Pairings

Excellent with red meats and game, and holds its own with aged cheeses; its power suits grilled steak and rich braises.

When to drink it

Steak dinners, game courses, cellar-worthy special occasions
