About the wine:

Medium garnet with a hint of brick on the rim. Complex aroma of wild red berries and dried cherry. Captivating and inviting. Very fine, almost chalky tannins that enhance the freshness. Dry without being drying. Elegant and very persistent, with a lovely, perfectly balanced aftertaste of Sangiovese. 2024-2035
