February 2, 2024 - Looks kind of tame in the glass but this is a powerful Sangiovese wine. High acid, big fruit, juicy. Single vineyard in Montalcino, I think this is the same clone they make Brunello from, maybe these grapes didn't quite make the cut ?
Hard to put it down, even after the food is gone !! -

And I guess that its got some of the Brunello in it, or could be Brunello, but is separated. Maybe a little bit of smoke or black fruit, I guess I am kinda getting smoke everywhere these days.
