Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Canaolo, medium Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, floral and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of sour cherry, currant and raspberry with tobacco, baking spices and nutty notes. Fine rustic tannins, vivid acidity, medium finish ending with fruit and earthy spice. Good now and short-term age as well!

Bright red fruit, rosemary and burnt earth. Fresh and juicy. Pronounced but powdery tannins, and pronounced acid add freshness to the red cherry and dried herbs
