4. Pairing and Recommendations
Gastronomy: A wine of this caliber demands dishes of great intensity: aged Chianina steak, wild boar with polenta, game roasts with red fruits, or extremely aged cheeses. It is the centerpiece wine for a gala dinner.
Serving: It is recommended to decant for 4 to 6 hours. Serve at **18°C**. Given the nature of the Double Magnum format, it is suggested to use a stand or pour with extreme caution into a large capacity decanter.
