Tasting Notes
Sample of intense ruby red color, with garnet textures of good consistency.
The nose is intense, emanating the typical hints of Tuscan Sangiovese: the clear cherry in alcohol, the ripe plum, a delicate balsamic note as well as a nuance of cloves and licorice.
The sip is full and tasty, with the alcohol content well mitigated by the freshness, important yet very velvety tannins. Baked larded pheasant.
