This wine is crafted with care, potentially utilizing a blend of grapes including Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. It offers a delightful exploration of flavor, boasting a dry profile with an inviting fruitiness, complemented by subtle earthy notes. It's a medium-bodied red, characterized by a harmonious balance. A wonderful red wine with cherry fruit, a little vanilla, well integrated tannins, and a round, long finish.
Lagone pairs beautifully with a range of dishes, making it an excellent choice for everyday enjoyment or special occasions. Try it alongside roasted chicken, grilled sausages, or pasta with a rich tomato sauce. Its versatility also allows it to complement a cheese board with aged Pecorino or a platter of Tuscan cured meats. For a vegetarian option, consider pairing it with mushroom risotto or roasted vegetables with herbs.
Serving this wine at around 16°C allows its aromatic complexity to fully unfold. Give it a little air before serving. You might find it incredibly tempting to take your first sip. In short, the Lagone is a love letter to the heart of Tuscany and your next dinner, all in one bottle. Raise a glass to the simple pleasures, and to the remarkable wines of Aia Vecchia!
