“(100% sangiovese. 13% alcohol) Deep. full red. Complex. gorgeous nose melds ripe red cherry. tobacco. iron. cinnamon and a floral element. Suave and bright. but fatter and deeper than the Montevertine. with perfectly integrated acidity to buffer its voluptuous texture and captivating flavors of ripe red cherry. spicy plum. liquorice and underbrush. Finishes broad. with compellingly mouthcoating tannins and outstanding length. A great wine and another example of the incredible heights sangiovese can achieve in the right hands and in the right terroirs. such as Radda. where Montevertine
is located. ” Ian d ‘Agata 97 points
