Leather and earth dominate the nose without any rusticity, the fruit is cherry but rather darker and less forward than in past vintages. Acid is under control and tannins are not notable. Pleasant and very drinkable Sangiovese/Morellino.

Has all of the central Italian bite I hopes for with an add complexity from what seems to w Cabernet with a leafy, black currant undertone. This can use more time and improve, but alas, my last bottle.

Both sappy and fleshy. Ended up being a pretty good pairing to tuna sauced pasta.

Dark cherry flavor and color. Grape is a varietal of Sangiovese and has a more tart flavor. Pairs better with very hearty food such as stews. Drank in January 2022

Not as fruit forward as our Sonoma county reds it has nice, soft tannins and maybe a little tobacco?
