Made with 85% Sangiovese and 15% Merlot that spent 30 months in new oak barrels, this has a fairly intense and maturing nose of sweet spice with hints of dried cherry and floral, and forest floor aromas. It's medium-full bodied with good fruit concentration and balanced, juicy acids. Very nice aroma replays on the palate, joined by hints of leather. Excellent length on the finish, if a touch hot. Tasted Oct/2019.
