  90% Sangiovese, 10% Colorino and Canaiolo
  
  Medium body, bright ruby colour. Intense aroma of red and blue fruits, flowers and leathery background. Juicy, sour cherry and blueberry palate following by a bit earth finish of fresh acidity and integrated tannins. Good Chianti, complex enough and well balanced. Food friendly, enjoyable with vegetables and mushrooms soup. Open half hour ahead. Serve 18ºC - 20ºC. Drink now and the next couple years.

  Still firmly tannic. A bit brambly. Good acid. Red fruits: raspberry and rhubarb. Minimal oak. Some eucalyptus. Still could mature further.

  Har smidt lidt af sin primære frugt, men har stadig godt med bitre mørke kirsebær. Læder, frisk jord, jern. Grippy tannin
