100% Sangiovese/Barrel aged for 20 months 33% New European Oak
This wine is an absolutely beautiful opaque deep maroon in the glass with a very smoky/earthy nose and a palate opening immediately to a deep plummy/figgy beginning. With a bit of time and aeration in the glass, the palate grows and deepens to the addition of campfire smokiness and an almost mushroom earthiness. The wine is rich and deep and has a refined profile which is greatly enhanced by the winemaker’s careful control of tannins and acidity which leads to an exceptionally sophisticated complexity while remaining velvety and gentle.
