March 24, 2024 - A good pairing wine (went really well with 72% Dark Chocolate) that Torie actually liked quite a bit.

March 16, 2024 - Needed some time in the glass to find its balance, suggesting it's still on the young side, for a Sangiovese the fruit is quite intense and dark. It gives a ripe and warm impression but the lively acidity counters this.
