Like the Pipparello, this is a blend of Sangiovese, Sagrantino and Montepulciano. Unlike the Pipparello, this one sees no oak.
The savory nose is full of cherries, earth, and herbal spices. Very deep and complex. On the palate the acidity is noticeably higher. Intense and brooding. Powerful dusty tannins.

Holy cow. Just brilliant. Nice plumminess to it along with balanced tannins and acidity. Dark red fruit. Complex as day is long. 2008 — 13 days ago
