About this wine
The Riserva selection from the Casalino estate, 100% Sangiovese aged longer to develop an intense bright red color turning garnet with age. The nose shows ripe red fruit interwoven with black pepper; the palate is soft and balanced with well-integrated, non-aggressive tannins. Suited to hearty dishes, grilled meats, game, and rustic Tuscan soups.
A step up in depth from the base Casalino — still approachable, more serious.
