Tart. Cherry. Light to medium body. Good acid. Sangio + Pinot. Worlds collide.

Half Pinot Noir the rest Sangiovese...elegant with high toned red fruits and fresh acids, but not sure of the expression objective as I don't think each complements the other to a point that makes either that much better.

Pinot + SV, very rare blending. Complex flavor. It would possibly meet Chinese cuisine. 2016 @130/100mm, T Enoteca, 210115

Vintage 2015. Too young but full body, at the nose toasted nut...right one!

I'll hate it when they spoil good Sangiovese by mixing it with Pinot Noir. But one glass is is acceptable, dry tannins and to much acidity. Lots of red ripe fruit.
