Outstanding …dare I say “super Tuscan” with 70% sangio and the rest merlot / Syrah. From NW corner of Tuscany. I’ll be seeing you next week ! Lacks a bit of the sangio acidity I was seeking

Good complexity and decent length. Tannins a little blunt. Good choice for mixed grill.

Vivo nel colore rubino. Profumi di petali di rosa rossa, ciliegia croccante e ribes. Freschissimo l’assaggio e bilanciato. Niente morbidezze ruffiane ma coerenza gustativa. Si allunga nel ricordo di granatina. Bocca succosa che invoglia l’abbinamento a coppa, salami e prosciutti dolci.

An "a-ha" wine moment from maybe 12 years ago that I have not seen on a shelf in maybe 8 years.
The moment was the brilliance of learning how acidity in wine acts as a preservative and enhancer of a wine (consumed over 3 days).
Sangiovese (70%) and usually a split of Merlot & Syrah from biodynamically farmed vines in northwestern Tuscany (Lucca). An odd combination that works so well in this instance. Nothing over complicated here in a great way, fresh red sappy cherry fruit, a touch of savory on a medium body frame with some firm and dry tannin. Not to mention that crackling and racy acidity!

Cedar and juniper over dark cherries. Delicious and slightly mysterious.

The nose is reminiscent of a sea breeze with a hint of burnt rubber. Great salinity with hints of blackberry, cinnamon and latex.. In a good way. Acidic backbone balances the fruit and spice. At least 10 more years of life left
