  From magnum, similar notes as before.
  
  I feel this wine is perfectly aged for my liking, drinking beautifully

  And another excellent bottle of this, unfortunately my last one. This is really singing, notes of dark red cherries, some red berries and plums, graphite, some flowery notes, cedar, cigar box, some baking spices, leather too. It‘s medium-full bodied, but very elegant, with medium tannin that is excellent quality and very silky, there is also some nice high acidity providing tension and freshness. Long finish with building complexity. An absolute beauty and a great example that Sangiovese doesn‘t have to be a bruiser…

  A 80% Sangiovese and 20% Malvasia blend, hence the IGT and not DOCG. Medium garnet. Expressive nose of red fruit with clay, sweet spices. Medium bodied, elegant. The tannins are silky, especially for this region.

  As usual… Sodi is always reliable and performs above its price range.

  Unlike a recent post, this bottle was spot on. I do agree that would not wait longer.
