An interesting artisinal project from this benchmark Tuscan producer: 100% sangiovese that's spent 12 months on the skins in local "orci" clay vessels. Yields a cherry, spicy sangiovese expression with the mealy, chalky tannins that are sometimes the product of amphora aged wines like this. Definitely worth a try if you can find it.

Took about 30 minutes to start opening, but drinking well with bright red fruit, herb and spice. A little unstructured as the tannins have diminished significantly.

Dried flowers and tar, mushroom, earth, iron. Faded fruit and soft tannins. Drinking nicely.
