Vibrant purple color. Lovely aromas of bright red currants, jammy raspberries, laced with an enticing mix of spicy tobacco, sweet rose petals, clove, bay leaf and cracked pepper. The palate is ripe and juicy but balanced and nuanced, with dusty tannins and tangy acidity. The fruit shows tangy raspberries and deep currant fruit, and it has a sense of vibrancy and balance. The notes of clay, tilled soil, leather, clove, dried roses and pepper add a lot to enjoy and contemplate. Complex yet accessible, this is a great intro to this house’s wines, and could be a great option for a case buy/house wine of your own if you’re a fan of this style. Sangiovese with some Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.

Muy buena propuesta, de buena acidez y con la elegancia suficiente para maridar con un buen puñado de platos. Nariz tenue a fruta roja (cereza, fresa). En boca, salino, astringente sin ser desagradable, recuerdo a frambuesa, de taninos suaves, corto. Para tomar ya.

A great visit and tasting with Gianlorenzo Neri at their gorgeous property. Their family was/is a true visionary in Montalcino - vineyard sites, winery construction, organic, etc. Great tour of the property - and everything from winemaking, history to future sites. Great terrior and expressions captured in the bottle.
Sagio & ~10% Cabernet nice acidity, red fruit, minerality, earth, great tannins
