WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Intense ruby red, sparkling. The smells are those of red fruits, out of which Marasca cherry, typical of Sangiovese, seems to really stand out. The larger wooden barrels allow for a greater evolution in the balsamic notes and spiciness. In the mouth the tannins’ refinement balances the softness, making the wine harmonious and pleasantly persistent
Perfect with fist courses based with elaborated sauces, red meat based second courses or game, as well as with aged cheeses with mustards.
Blend: 90% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon
TASTING NOTES:
Bright cherries, spice and hints of dried flowers. Also rose stem. Medium-bodied with firm and lightly chewy tannins.
- James Suckling, 93 pts.
The nose leans sweet, with vanilla, cherries, strawberries and a touch of blood orange, but undertones of spices and earth emerge with time. Cherries also star on the palate, before buoyant acid lifts a latent heat into an astringent finish, where the nose's blood orange note blossoms.
- Wine Enthusiast, 92 pts.
This rich red is full of plum, cherry, iron, vanilla and oak spice flavors. The tannins are firm, leaving a light cherry pit bitterness on the persistent finish. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon.
