February 25, 2021 - This deep ruby wine was Vinturi-decanted and serially tasted over the ensuing two hours. Immediately expressive of tart cherries, almonds, dry earth and mulling spices, it is a medium-bodied, freshly acidic Sangiovese that includes dollops of Canaiolo Nero and Cabernet Sauvignon. The tannins are supple, the alcohol (13.5%) seamless and the Slavonian oak well-integrated. Solid on the mid-palate, it moves on to an energetic, medium-length finish. Although not particularly complex, this is an enjoyable red that screams for pasta with any tomato-based sauce. Drink now-2025.
