Sangiovese
Red with good depth and intensity. Rim, denoting aging, tends to terracotta in color, then garnet. Very intense fragrances, expanded by a reducing aging process which amplifies the hints of tobacco and lavender, typical of a prime Sangiovese. Soft and rich at the start with very good structure, generous and lingering, very persistent finish. Aromas are also fully expressed in the mouth with the presence of balanced wood exalting the aromatics of the variety.
