Top Notes For

Described to me as a “Grand Cru of Emilia Romagna” (150 Euros) - 100% Sangiovese. A little more fruit driven than the Tuscan version. Matured in large French oak (Tonneau rather than Barriques). A well made wine with notes of cherry, red and black berries and loam. The back story here, is we consumed this over lunch at Cavallino, the restaurant opposite the gates to Ferrari HQ, where Enzo Ferrari would have lunch most days. On this particular day we watched the Italian Grand Prix from Monza where Ferrari came 3rd and 4th.
