Popped for a quick dinner. Deep garnet color; pretty, translucent wine. Aromas of amarena black cherry and strawberry jam. Also supple leather. Medium weight - feeling every bit of the 13.5 abv, I'd think it was higher with the warm burn on nostrils and throat. Red currant with a hint of juniper or rosemary. Bright acids, soft tannins and a little spicy - white pepper? Good wine; not too rich for those that like a fuller styled Rosso, look elsewhere. This is a nice example of Sangiovese.

Very structured rosso. Great nose, but it was lacking some balance and fruit. Unfortunately, I only had one bottle of this so I cannot wait and see if it will develop into something really great.
Modern style, were they using barrique for this vintage of rosso??
