Color:Deep garnet
Nose:Classic Sangiovese — concentrated raspberry and Montmorency cherry emerge immediately. With air: cola berry, cedar, and Madagascar vanilla bean.
Palate:Fresh cut fruit notes emerge as the wine shows its weight. Full-bodied, walking a tightrope between heft, pillowy texture, and vibrant acidity. Gentle finish with fine-grained tannins and expressive barrel characteristics.
