Palate: ripe red fruit, sweet spice

Picked in the second ten days of October, the estate's Riserva is described as rich on the palate and loaded with ripe tannins that give it an unusual softness for its weight.

What it pairs with

  • Roast meats
    Montori names roasts of every kind as the natural partner for the wine's ripe tannin.
  • Coniglio alla cacciatora
    The producer lists hunter-style rabbit, whose tomato and herb base meets the wine's softness.
  • Spit-roast pigeon
    Named by the estate, and the wine has body enough for dark poultry.
