100% Sangiovese aged in French oak for 12 months. 2h air.
Pale garnet color. Cherry, redcurrant, Mediterranean herbs, potting soil, hints of green olive. Nervy acidity, medium-light body, elegant, silky texture and tannins. Tart red fruit with bare hints of earthiness.

A little acidic with light body. Interesting hints of flavour, but never enough to overcome the acidic, light character. Not bad. Will try again tomorrow with more aeration and at slightly cooler temperature

cherry is high toned and bright, savory herbs, thyme, dried wood, cedar and lead. Juicy and acid driven, tannin really fruit driven and fine. Elegant wine and stellar bargain if searching for anything Chianti Classico like.

With some gumption and power there. Doesn't taste like a '14. Or maybe it tastes more like a '14 Brunello.

Well made, but not very interesting. Pretty light bodied.
