This dark wine has fruit aromas to match - blackberries, currant, black cherry - and I love the way those smells power past the oak effect. The oak has left its mark, with vanilla, cedar, tobacco and a hint of tar on the nose. The palate shows vibrant fruit and earthy notes, with a healthy dose of tannic strength and a racy acidity. I’m having it with chicken Dijonnaise, but thinking of a pork chop to pair with it.

80% Sangiovese with the rest a blend of cab franc, cab, merlot. A much more modern style, fresh and easy to drink.

The perfect wine for Veal Pizzaiola. Beautiful Super Tuscan. Strong start followed by tannic finish. A complex wine.

2016 vintage. Chunky, ripe and missing out on the structural markers that would vault this into must buy territory. This was the vintage for it to show up and be accounted for. Oopsiedoodles. Still, pretty decent. 8.8.24.
