Tasting Note

This pure Sangiovese has a bright nose, a nod to its temperate vintage, with floral aromas -- roses and violets -- followed by cypress and fresh rosemary. On the palate, flavours of ripe raspberries and hints of vanilla bean dominate. The mouthfeel is complex, full of soft tannins and uplifting acidity that bears the signature of classic Sangiovese. The finish has noticeable minerality with lingering notes of orange peel and cedar. The balance of acid, fruit and earth showcases the true terroir of this region.
