This wine, with an alcohol content of 14.5%, ages for approximately 20 months in French oak barrels. It displays a luminous ruby ​​red color and an intensely complex bouquet. The nose opens with aromas of ripe cherry, black cherry, and berries, enriched with floral notes of violet and a spicy touch of tobacco and licorice. On the palate, the 2021 Cepparello reveals impeccable structure, with vibrant acidity that perfectly balances its power and silky, fine tannins. The finish is long and persistent, a true ode to the purity of Sangiovese. This wine pairs beautifully with rich red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses.
