Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of 85-90% Sangiovese with the rest Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep Ruby color with aromas of dark fruits and perfumed spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and currants with notes of citrus, tobacco and black pepper. Medium finish, fine tannins ending with fruit and spice. Organic farming practices.

Yummy. Has a lovely balance between the sweetness and ripeness of fruit and the pinch of acidity and juiciness. All primary notes, but juicy and yummy. More Mediterranean than I expected Youthful. #morellinodiscansano #morellino

Medium to deep ruby red. Savory and cherries on the nose. A bit of gravel too. Medium tannins (5.5/10) and balanced acidity. Medium to medium plus body. Needs a little time to open up. Cherries and lots of earthiness. Medium plus to long finish. Drink till 2024.

Sour cherry like a chianti, but brighter and fresher... like chianti's younger sister. Great house. These are the people that make Saffredi, ladies and gentlemen, they don't eff around.

Vintage 2014 / Such an interesting DOCG, and my goodness how much charm this Tuscan wine offers! Spicyness in smell, marzipan in taste. / Paired with lamb

A nice compliment to our steak tartare that we never order. Complimented the rich flavor and spicy sauces.

Tasty but a bit past it's prime. Just held on a bit too long.

Sangiovese, Alicante and Malvasia Nera in this blend. Coherent at nose and taste, a real red fruit salad in alcohol. Long finish, nicely elegant. Very very good.
