Love this wine Sangiovese at its best! Sour cherry dark fruits and hints of vanilla and old wine soaked wood

Lots of fruit, not much black pepper spice as I expected. Soft and ripe tannins. Not much length.

Enough fruit to balance the acid. Really enjoyed this with some good Italian food tonight.
