Aromatically it leads with red cherry, raspberry and a touch of rhubarb, backed by dried thyme, pink peppercorn and a faint earthiness that keeps things savoury. The palate follows the same line — juicy cherry and cranberry up front, then a darker plummy note through the middle, with a whisper of orange zest on the edges.
On the nose, bright cherry, boysenberry, nutmeg and fresh-cut cedar. On the palate, raspberries, black cherries, walnut and mushroom. Fine grained tannins and vibrant acidity.
100% Sangiovese with some seriously quality oak handling. Cherries, red plums, vanilla, baking spices on the nose, with a finish that lingers. Acid provides fantastic structure and tannins are resolved after a few years in bottle.
