Description
ON THE NOSE Sangiovese displays its glorious array of aromas. Deep scented ripe red berry and cassis, tomato leaf, rosemary and thyme complemented by notes of sundried tomatoes. Sweet succulent cranberries, red cherries and cinnamon spice, as well as hearty, sometimes meaty, savoury herbaceous spice and eucalyptus undertones.
ON THE PALATE Sangiovese takes the driving seat on this exhilarating flavour adventure. Soft velvety tannins direct the intensity of different taste sensations. This elegant wine is naturally balanced, with acidity and fruit sweetness effortlessly playing off each other.
