100% Sangiovese, deep Ruby with concentrated fruit aromas and earthy notes. On the palate blackberry and blueberry flavors with garden herbs and cedar notes. Tannins are soft, medium finish ending with earthy character.Wine should be consumed now, no additional benefit from bottle aging.

Deep ruby. Iodine/ocean/bloody aromas initially. Give way to red cherry, woody/savory notes. Very finely tannic and long on the pallet. This wine is all about texture now and could certainly take time and develop in aroma.

Very nice. Maybe slightly too ripe or syrup traits, but seems to work well. Interesting how some Italian wines with these unbalanced CA-like traits can still hold on. Would buy again.
