Tasting Notes
A slight funk on the nose suggests field mushroom and something slightly medicinal, slightly animalistic. Conifer and crushed herb follow once this wears off. The palate, however, is still juicy and shows quite some cherry, still luminous with freshness. Tannins are fine and drying, but shimmering with the lifted, coniferous scent of Sangiovese, always with that tart Morello cherry note. A rather serene and most aromatic, fragrant wine.
