A classic Vino Nobile that had that sour cherry acidic note that pairs these wines so well with food. We spent 3 hours with this wine before and during dinner and it always held our interest.

Struggled with this a bit, it was quite thin in appearance but quite austere on the palate leaving us to wonder, however it was one of the first wines that I could recall evolving so radically from glass to glass, and it was quite tasty by the end, the role of food also played heavily with this wine - Bright red, medium concentration with a nose of cherry, flowers, earth and light vanilla, interesting and complex, decent balance, sour and dry on the palate with medium length (85 Points).

I was surprised how long it took to open up (45min- 1hr), given it seems to be just a simple Vino Nobile. Hints of cinamon, vanilla, berries, and spices... Not the most exciting Tuscan red from this vintage.
