The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering taste of ripe fruit and earthy undertones. Full of mature tannins and fruitiness.Pairing: Its robust profile makes it a perfect companion to the rich flavors of Tuscan cuisine. Classic pairings include grilled meats, such as Florentine steak, where the wine's acidity cuts through the richness of the meat, enhancing the flavors of both the dish and the wine. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses and hearty pasta dishes, where the wine's complexity complements the savory notes of the food.Penne al Baffo (Creamy Tom
