Tasting notes
Good deep red. Plum, herbs and a whiff of dried leaves on the nose, with redcurrant and floral notes emerging with air. Supple and sweet in the mouth, with nicely integrated acidity framing the flavors of redcurrant and tobacco. Finishes with fairly sweet tannins and very good length. Dry, classic, medium-bodied sangiovese without quite the verve for a higher score.
