This wine has a medium tinted ruby color. The nose is a savory blast. The fruit is dark and muted by the aroma of pipe tobacco, earth, and black olives. The wine’s flavor profile has shades of black cherry and plum, again colored by the savory aspect of the palate. I expect to find some trace of wood, but there is none. The wine was fermented in cement, and half of it was aged that way, so the sip is very clean. The tannins are velvety and the acidity is lively.

Light, fresh, fruity—strawberries, herbs, ripe tomato. A cup for the bolognese, the rest for me

Whole cluster fermented, elevage in concrete. Clean, transparent, drinkable, with honest tannins.

A classic Sangiovese for wood-oven pizzas: all concrete for purity of fruit, tannin and acidity. 🔥🍕🍷
