Winery Review: Showing notes of sandalwood, espresso and red berries on the nose, this wine has a lovely silky attack and an attractive ferrous quality complementing red plum and earth notes. It has excellent length and is ready to drink now. A blend of 80% Sangiovese, 20% Ciliegiolo, Canaiolo and Colorino aged 24 months in 500L oak tonneau. Produced in the Monsanto - Barberino Val d’Elsa zone with limestone and clay soil at about 400m altitude. The 15 ha vineyard is organically farmed. - i-wine review, 90 pts
My Review: Full-bodied and earthy with strong notes of cherry, raspberries, and coffee. Full of tannins with a dry, puckery mouth afterwards. Had strong notes and a very distinct taste, but was well balanced.
With/without food: I tasted this on its own without food.
