About the wine
Tasting notes
This medium-hued wine possesses a deeply concentrated and evocative nose of lifted spicy red fruits – dark and sour cherries & redcurrants – a touch of spicy wood, cocoa and aniseed. On the palate the fruit profile is a touch brighter and sweeter, with the savouriness of our clonal mix to be revealed inch by inch with cellaring. Fresh cherries and redcurrants are accompanied by hints of spice, dried herbs, cacao and potpourri, before leading to a bright, pleasing finish with supple tannins and good length.

Sangiovese
Sangiovese is a Tuscan red grape variety that has become the most planted and famous variety in Italy. You may know this variety by a few other names like Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Montefalco Rosso or Carmignano, but rest assured it's all the same grape, but it may grow in different regions. Sangiovese is made for food and shows with aromas and flavours of cherry, red berries, roasted tomato, balsamic, Italian herbs, coffee and cured meats, backed by cutting acidity and a good grip of tannins. The best examples come from Montalcino (Brunello di Montalcino) and can age decades!
