Palazzo Altesi- 2016. Super Tuscan with 100% Sangiovese in small French oak. Internal toasting of barrel. Coloration is purple velvet. On the nose, cherry liquor and vanilla. On the palate, full bodied, cherry and heavy oak, a tad bitter and dry.

Fruity without being too sweet, very smooth and easy to drink. Gets even better as it warms up a bit.

Juicy bursting with cherry, lean with high acid- cool use of carbonic maceration.

Alicia's favorite for the day. New world style with big fruit, oak and a lasting finish.
