Siepi Toscana

TASTING NOTES

Monumentally built, with crispy notes of elder, plums, red berries, sandalwood, and tobacco. On the palate the texture is juicy, with a fine layer of well-integrated tannins and a very long, bright finish.

The unique terroir of the Siepi estate is perfect for Merlot as the ideal grape to complement Sangiovese, in a very particular microclimate that gives birth to a wine which is perfectly balanced between elegance, power and complexity.

PAIRING

Flavorful and textured dishes like braised beef and veal. It also goes well with game and blue cheeses.
