  Received as a gift.

  Served following aeration and 1-hr decant with Beef Tri-Tip, Broccoli, Mashed Potatoes and Green Salad.
  
  Garnet red on the pour; lovely, clear, ruby-red in the glass. Fragrant Nose of Cherry & Raspberry with hint of Strawberry. Medium body, yet full-Flavored. Robust, with notes of leather, tobacco and spices. Ample acidity (high) with moderate, but surprisingly grippy tannins after the initial burst of flavor. Pleasantly tart, lingering finish. Refined, yet retaining a modicum of Rusticity, characteristic of the varietal.

  Initial hints of oak and leather with an earthy precipitousness. Fresh aromas of blueberries and plums expand on the nose. On the palate it is a gorgeous semi dry Sangiovese with chewy tannins and a smooth grip on the tongue. I highly recommend it with any Italian food especially a Napoli pizza!
