This is quite the unique Sangiovese. The nose is almost overwhelmingly mineral in its lifted pungency (in a good way), with dark cherry skin fruit veering into cassis-like notes. Linear and intense in the mouth, with outstanding cleansing acidity in the long echoey finish. It was terrific with my whole braised chicken in tomato sauce.

Alto Toscana is the future. Cooler climate Sangiovese is just so good as exhibited in this brilliant wine. Big cherries but rustic and cooling. Delicate. Some confectionary aromas as well. Earthy and mineral. So detailed and gorgeous. Really compelling. Juicy and complex with terrific freshness, stunning fruit and lovely purity. Really impressive wine. Elegant velvety tannins and everything just perfectly in place. Balanced and punches way way above its weight.
