About the wine:
Medium garnet with a hint of brick red at the rim. Complex aromas of wild red berries and dried cherries. Captivating and inviting. Very fine, almost chalky tannins that enhance the wine’s freshness. Dry without being austere. Elegant and very persistent, with a beautifully balanced finish and a savory Sangiovese aftertaste. 2024–2035
