Somewhat delicate on the nose. Cocoa powder, black cherry, minerality, wet stone and rose petals. M+ tannin, alcohol and acid. Black fruit, chocolate. Long finish. Needs time to tame tannins.

Spectacular. I'm far from a Sangiovese vet, but I've never tasted one like this. Nuanced and balanced.

The Seghesio family has been making Italian wines since 1895 in Healdsburg. This one, with its full mouth feel and dark tastes of plums and berries, is incredible. Steak and heavy pasta reigns on its table.

A robust Sangiovese that paired well with our steak and salad.

Silky smooth and light on the tongue. I find the strength of this wine is in the savour. Long after you have swallowed it leaves notes of cherry and plum dancing on the back of your tongue . Paired great with our home made pizza.
