Fattoria Ambra, 'Riserva Le Vigne Alte di Montalbiolo' - Red Blend

This 2016 red blend hails from Carmignano, Tuscany, Italy. It's crafted from 70% Sangiovese, 20% Canaiolo Nero, and 10% Uva Francesca. The Romei Rigoli family has owned Fattoria Ambra since 1870. The estate, named after a 15th - century poem by Lorenzo the Magnificent, spans 20 hectares across four key Crus of Carmignano. Despite being one of Tuscany's smallest DOCGs, it produces top - notch wines. After two years in the barrel, this wine offers lovely notes of blueberry, violet, vanilla, and toast. It pairs perfectly with aged cheeses or red game meats.

To enjoy this wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour after opening. Pour it into a wide - bowl wine glass to enhance the aroma. Serve it at a temperature between 16 - 18°C. When it comes to food pairings, go for aged cheeses like Parmesan or red game meats such as venison. Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place. Once opened, re - cork it tightly and keep it in the refrigerator. Try to finish it within 2 - 3 days to maintain its flavor.
