One of two annata bottlings, Vigna Doghessa hails from a single plot planted in 2006. While vinification is more or less the same for both, this 100% Sangiovese is denser, chewier and darker in fruit register than Belcanto. Leather, toasted walnut, nutmeg and wet autumn leaves swirl from the glass. The palate is packed with brambly blackberries along with cedar and black tea earthy nuance. Assertive tannins are grainy and taut, and it finishes with a tasty salinity. Quite an ambitious annata, it boasts solid five- to seven-year ageing potential.
