100% Sangiovese has earthy aromas of sunbaked soil, truffle, leather and ripe plum. Smooth, juicy palate doles out ripe black cherry, blackberry, baking spice and mineral alongside supple tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced.Pairs well with cured meat, beef, veal and poultry dishes and red sauce pasta or wihte ragú.

I would prefer to drink sooner rather than later in order to enjoy its intense, explosive flavors. A burst of dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, spice and licorice builds into the boisterous finish.
