Very Limited

“A mainly sangiovese wine with small amounts of canaiolo nero and colorino. 13% alcohol). Bright red. Wonderfully floral. pure aromas of sour red cherry. cranberry and violet. Bright and minerally on entry. then tight and youthfully acidic in the middle. with hints of marzipan. fresh red berries and citrus fruits. Boasts an exhilarating sugar/acid balance and a firm tannic spine. finishing juicy and bright. with a crunchy texture and noteworthy precision. This exceptional wine explodes with perfume and flavour. Even better than the great 2001. this is a true monument to the greatness that can be achieved by sangiovese blended with canaiolo nero. ” Ian d ‘Agata 93 points
