PnP, the nose consists of blackberry,cherry and tar, the sangiovese is dominant. The palate is medium bodied with pleasant acidity and structured tannins that hold up the cherry, blackberry, cola and wet earth. This vintage is better than the 2009, which I enjoyed greatly, the blackberry tinge is fantastic.

Clear light ruby color. On the nose I get blackberries and raspberries, some charcoal, green herbs and some bright red floral tones. Bright acid on the palate, some moderate and dusty tannins, a fresh and food-friendly approach. Bright raspberries and tart blueberries mix with rose petals, incense sticks, tobacco and radish elements. A tangy blend of 70% Sangiovese, 15% Sagrantino and 15% Colorino, this shows quite a bit of complexity and could probably improve over the next three years or so.

Fuller than the Umbria IGT Rosso, with wonderfully supple tannins and robust, properly ripe fruit and a fluid feel.
