TASTING
This is a medium-bodied, highly typical red wine that traces the profile and characteristics of Sangiovese, nuanced by the small addition of other grape varieties. On the nose, elegant, broad, balanced, clean, persistent, there are mouth-watering notes of red fruit, including cherry and black cherry, enriched by herbs and spicy elements. In the mouth, lively, round, warm, full-bodied, the result is a balanced, territorial expression of great pleasantness.
