Blend of 80% Sangiovese, 13% Merlot, and 7% Malvasia Nera. Gorgeously aromatic and intense, this has a beautiful nose of pure red cherry and strawberry, joined by orange, leather, and tobacco aromas which add complexity. On the medium-full to full-bodied palate, it delivers fresh acidity and firmly structured, yet delicate tannins which support the very fine, ripe red fruited aroma replays, plus savoury wet earth undertones. Spiced and earthy notes linger on the very long-lasting finish. Tasted Oct. 2022.
