Mainly Sangiovese, this has a medium+ to medium-high intensity nose of ripe red cherry and clove aromas alongside some sweet spices, macerated cherry, and savoury earth tones in a slightly mature profile. The medium+ bodied palate is dry with lovely cherry and savoury earth flavours supported by smooth, well-integrated tannins. The mid-palate is a touch spicy with very good acidity. A touch warming, but still within balance, while earthy and savoury oak notes linger on the long-lasting finish. Tasted Aug. 2025.
