PnVnD 1 hr. Very light crimson with obvious bricking. Muted nose of balsa wood and berries. Tart cranberries and sweet cherries on the palate followed by drying but rounded tannins. Fairly acidic, but well within normal for a Sangiovese. Much nicer than expected. Fuller fruits emerge after about 2 hrs.
Enjoyed in a Riedel Vinum Chianti Classico glass.

Decanted 2 hours. Some herbs and austerity. Medium acid, medium tannins and medium finish. A medium wine overall. I had the Curran Sangio a few weeks ago from the same vintage and it was much better.

This is very acidic - it's fine with a hearty tomato sauce, but harder to sip on its own after the pasta runs out.
