Blend of 90% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot and 5% Colorino, deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits and spicy floral notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry fruit with pepper and cinnamon, lively acidity with firm tannins. Medium finish ending with fruit and slight oaky character.

Made bolognese tonight and this was a perfect pairing. Light tannins with mellow cherry overtones. Went well with dinner and I would buy this one again in a heartbeat. This was the 2019 in March of 2023.

An enjoyable bottle-light flavors of strawberry and cherry, without the strong acidity in so many Sangiovese wines.

Deep ruby color; black cherries, plums, and herbs on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like raspberries, cranberries, and slate with a long finish.

Easy. . . This bottle was easy to taste, easy to enjoy and easy to finish. It very complex, some hints of licorice, cherry, dark berry, leather, but overall simple. Normally that is not what I’m looking for but this “simple” and “easy” were just right.
