Lustrous mid ruby in the glass, it has a mineral, almost saline edge and a hint of dried flowers. The texture is velvety and the tannins chewy, and a bright core of acidity keeps it all juicy. If you're opening it now, give it a good hour or two in a decanter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoast leg of lamb with rosemary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged Pecorino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWild mushroom and chestnut ragù with soft polenta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"2020 was a tough year for San Polino.
