This 100% Sangiovese has a lovely, open, fragrant, and fresh nose delivering aromas of Damson plum, red cherry, spices, sandalwood, and savoury wet earth with rose floral accents. It's medium-full bodied on the chewy, structured palate with very appealing Damson plum, red cherry, savoury earth, and sweet spice flavours. Acids are fresh and lively, while the ripe, youthful tannins have some grip that will reward ageing. Savoury with lovely flavour replays lingering on the long, youthful finish. Tasted May 2022.

Beautiful seductive aromas of violet, cherry, cassis, cranberry, and some earthy aromas close out. The palate is not as alluring with flavours of cherry, cocoa, and black fruit. Fine-grain chalky tannins with medium acidity. Quick finish. One bottle is left to see if this redeems itself.
