Some changes that have been slowly evolving: lots of sage-y cherry on that. Wild yeast fermentations and 100% rotary fermentation which gives that soft textural component. Keeps everything in suspension so no pumping over no elevage, 100% Sangiovese, they have some Prugnolo on the estate so it may slip in?

Candied cherry fruit candied fennel note on the nose as well. Has the feel of sangiovese. Aged nine months in medium plus toast french barrique, and all rotary fermentation. Works it out in a modern style at $20. With some grip on the finish.

Nice. A modern version of Chianti. Deeper flavors and stronger fruit balanced with nice earthiness and tannins.

Very nice wine for the price. Fresh, lively, fruity Sangiovese based wine. Was much better after a decant. I’ll buy more for daily drinking.

Needs time. Drank much better on the second day than the first. So decant or let it breathe for a solid hour+ before consuming

clear, cherry-ruby colour. Very good. nose: sweet macerated fruits; some musky notes; robust. taste: cherries with Stones; light sweetness; excellent, opaque tannins (small grains); light bodied; bitterish, almond finish. Excellent drinkability. Well done, modern Sangiovese.
