100% Sangiovese. The fresh, lifted nose has lovely aromas of savoury spice, mineral, red berry, cherry, floral, and red licorice. The medium+ bodied palate is dry and smooth with elegant tannins supporting the lovely aroma replays on the flavour profile with savoury spice, earth, cherry, and floral notes. It has juicy acids, while the long, well-structured finish has lingering spiced cherry tones. Tasted May 2025. Score: 92+ pts
