Ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.
Nice nose and medium plus in body.
Dry on the palate with medium plus acidity.
Showing red and black fruits with light wood, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, pencil lead, dark coffee, dark chocolates and earth.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 7 year old Sangiovese from Montepulciano is elegant and robust. Feels big, yet not in your face kind of wine.
Well balanced with nice complexity and mouthfeel. The high alcohol is well integrated.
This Single Vineyard will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
100% Sangiovese grapes were aged in large Croatian oak barrels for 2 years. A small production of only 4,000 bottles.
15% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
