FALKO ROSSO 2016

IGT Toscana Rosso
FALKO ROSSO 2016

Wine Description

Ruby red. The nose is very neat and clean: red fruits with a bit of spices and hints of eucalyptus. Good dry tannins. A versatile wine suitable for different occasions and food pairings. Perfect companion for dishes like mushroom-risotto, pasta with wild boar ragù, wild boar stew and cheese like Pecorino.

Curiosity

Food Pairing

Highly recommended in combination with dishes like risotto with mushrooms, pici with wild boar ragout, grilled fillet of beef or pecorino cheese.
