Ravenna , Emilia-Romagna, Italy
This tastes like a hypothetical Sangiovese grown in the Medoc. Nose has that dried twigs, cooling graveliness I associate with Medoc but with the dark cherry Sangiovese fruit underneath. Uncompromisingly dry in the mouth, but with intense tart cherry essence and lots of stony minerality. Great acids. A relatively austere style that worked very well with red cabbage-smothered chicken, which had some sweetness from the onions and braised cabbage.

Killer old school cool climate Sangiovese nose. Big aromas of ripe cherries and spice. Very deep nose. Attacks. Palate is big, ripe and sweet with rapier like balancing acids. Insane freshness for such a thoroughly ripe wine. Mineral as well on the finish. Nice contrast. Needs an hour as well. But once it gets going the nose really takes you places. I almost want to Eat, Prey and Love after smelling this wine.

Really good.
Palate is both brights and fresh and deep and old at the same time. Such gorgeous sweet fruit. Sour cherries. Wow.
Bought from fass selections

Wow. Fresh juicy blackberries. Like when you get lost in the woods and pick them fresh off the vine and pop them in your mouth with abandon. Less dark than brunello. More mineral. Juicy. Nice vibrant finish. Just a wonderfully unique expression of Sangiovese. So glad I bought this. Fass Selections. .. as this opens this gets like a beautifully brambly character. Sweeter blackberry fruit. Wow. ... as this opens some serious wet forest in the nose. ... enveloping on the palate as it opens. Sweet spicy blackberry liquor ... 90 minutes in some lovely Dustiness like old Bordeaux . If the bordeaux had insane freshness. Memories of grandmas attic. Such sweet blackberry flower aromatics on the finish.
