The Story

An elegant wine with solid structure, deep ruby colour and complex aroma that recalls marasca cherries and blackberries, followed by notes of violet, light mentholated hints and a spicy finish. A wine of great concentration, fruity and slightly balsamic, it has soft and velvety tannins with a long, lingering finish.

Grape varietals

Sangiovese from the Monticchio vineyard; double spurred cordon pruning system, harvested in October

Written Notes

Dark tarry berries, bay leaves, wax and nutmeg on the nose. Medium-to full-bodied with lots of chewy tannins on the mid-palate that gives a full wrap to the crunchy cherry and plums. Spicy and tight in the finish, but not grainy. Sangiovese. Drink now or hold.

  • 92p

Intense ruby colour with purple hue. Powerful nose with aroma reminiscent of chocolate coated prunes, elderberry jam, hints of mild spices and fine toasting in the background. On the palate surprisingly elegant and fresh with hints of dark berries, damson and fresh elderberries. Discreet spiciness and fine toasting adding depth, excellent length. A wine which is "contradictory" in its appearance on the nose and on the palate.
