Tuscany, Italy
Cherry cola, roasted plum, white pepper, eucalyptus, pine needles, cedar, graphite, iron, olives, bell pepper. Perfect acid/rough velvet tannin balance, full bodied, lush juicy texture, long complex herbal/smoky finish. A balance between rustic and elegant, drinking beautifully now, though its cellaring potential is worth exploring.

Sometimes I ask myself what Sangiovese wines are like, and I want to say that smelling a wine from Chianti or Montalcino or Montepulciano is like taking freshly tilled soil in your hands.

Stuffing was there with great tannin and acid but came across as too hot at 14.5. Alcohol very present for me

Great representation of a bloody wine! This wine is a great companion to food or just alone. Dark cherry, blackberry, leather, puckery and juicy.
