Italy

Valdarno di Sopra

This Sangiovese comes from the estate's oldest vines, planted in 1935 in the almost-3ha Vina dell'Impero at around 300 metres above sea level. Vinified in stainless steel with a long maceration of around one month, the wine then matures for 24 months in large 15hl and 25hl casks, plus a further year in bottle. Aromatic and slightly gamey, this 2018 is intense and balsamic with soft and juicy red berry flavours fortified by a tannic backbone and good acidity. Complex, fragrant notes of leather, wood and underbrush emerge on the mid-palate, accompanying a pure red fruit streak on the long finish. Just 6,800 bottles produced.
