Ser Gioveto Barrique, Rocca delle Macìe

SER GIOVETO

Toscana I.G.T.

10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot are blended with the noble native vine to create a wine of great structure and character, produced from a selection of the winery's finest grapes. Aging in French oak barriques for 9-14 months enriches the wine's aromatic complexity with an enhanced sense of balance and elegance.

Bright ruby-red in color, Ser Gioveto releases a warm, attractive aroma of black cherry, plum and blackcurrant syrup, followed by balsamic notes with a spicy finish of leather and sweet tobacco, and can hold its own with full-flavored dishes thanks to its assertive tannic note
