Beautiful, resolved nose of dark cherry and well-integrated oak. Lovely secondary flavors and highly aromatic. In a good place. Reminds me of Felsina Fontalloro

Very well made wine. Nothing over blown. Oak is in balance. Traditional Sangiovese

Very drinkable, jammy, but fruit has lost its luster.
