Pale ruby at the center and garnet toward the rim. On the nose, sweet and sour cherry and raspberry fruit aromas backed by anise and fennel seed herbal notes and a bright rose petal floral lift. Not particular aromatic for sangiovese but a nice profile. Follows through with the same flavors on the palate, again not the most intensity, but nice balance of juicy fruit and spicy/herbal undercurrent. Good tobacco and spice finish with moderate tannin and then lingering cherry fruit. A bit of heat though also.

A little disappointment... there is nothing wrong with it, technically made well, stunning colour, nice fruity nose. On the palate it is much too sweet with no tannins. Maybe it is after its peak already?

Great with fresh pasta and spic tomato sauce. Really held up well t it and has plenty of body to handle acid or even a carbonara type sauce
