Antico Colle 'Il Saggio' Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva

An outstanding, deeply expressive, and majestically structured Tuscan red wine, 'Il Saggio' (The Wise Man) Riserva displays an intense ruby red color that evolves into deep garnet edges. The nose is highly complex, sophisticated, and traditional, unfolding with an expansive bouquet of ripe black cherries, wild blackberries, and plum compote, beautifully layered with refined notes of loose tobacco leaf, smooth leather, dark cocoa, and sweet exotic spices from its extended wood aging. On the palate, it is full-bodied, robust, and velvety. A rich, concentrated core of dark brambly fruit is framed seamlessly by noble, fine-grained tannins and a balanced, terroir-driven freshness. The finish is remarkably long, dry, and elegant, leaving a lingering trail of savory spice, earth, and dark forest berries.

Food Pairing: A phenomenal partner for rich, hearty, and celebratory meals. Pairs magnificently with Bistecca alla Fiorentina (Tuscan T-bone steak), roasted wild boar, slow-braised venison, thick pappardelle with wild mushroom ragù, or well-aged Pecorino Toscano cheese.
