Tuesday, January 18, 2022 - Retail $50. From two 20ml tiny bottles. 100% Sangiovese Grosso. Whoa. A delectable nose of black and blue fruit (plum, blackberry, blueberry) with some spice (could that be a bit of ginger), just a slight touch of oak, and an enriching vanilla. Yowza. The palate is a bit shy at first, but with some time, the fruit really comes out to play with the acidity, leading through several layers of complexity, and finishing with some drying, healthy tannins. I wondered how a bigger, bolder red would hold up in these tiny bottles but, at least with this wine, there was no reason for worry.
