From 44 year old vines planted in well draining clay and gravelly soils. 60% Sangiovese, 20% Canaiolo Nero, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon this is a heck of a wine. Only about 100 cases makes it to the US. A broad wine that starts with a beautiful and complex nose of red to dark fruits accented by spice, pepper and tomato leaf. The palate is full of energy that persists through a great mid palate and an excellent finish. Full bodied with good acids lay beneath the luxurious fruit and well defined tannins. Superb!
