Tim Heaton Likes this wine:
April 27, 2016 - Tasted at the winery, from Coravin and produced only in magnum (300 bottles). From three different vineyards, each with different soil characteristics, microclimates and altitudes. This has been de/reclassified from Brunello (it is 100% Sangiovese), to IGT because Andrea wanted to - or he got tired of people asking for one, not sure. The wines from each vineyard are vinified separately, 10-12 days on skins, spontaneous fermentation in tank, then 2yrs in new Fr. barrique. 15,0% abv. (resolved), this needs 3-5 years to settle down then come together as right now, the tannins are pretty fierce.
Served non-blind.
