Drinking Window: 2023 - 2025
Alluring savoury nose with black olive tapenade over quintessential cherry and red plum notes of Sangiovese (blended with Malvasia Nera). The tannins are very soft but the vibrant acidity allows the wine to retain a firm framework, holding the sweet red fruit without it ever becoming cloying. Lingering spicy notes of black pepper, cardamom, nutmeg and allspice. One for lamb chops or medium-rare steak. Organic.
