From: Tuscany, Italy
Varietals: 80% Sangiovese, 10% Ciliegiolo, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes: The dominant flavor is the extreme elegance of the Sangiovese with charming cherry notes combined with dark fruits and the complexity of Cabernet; the typical acidity and the body are perfectly integrated. The wine is linear, dry, and persistent, showing a nice balance.
"This is very perfumed on the nose with rose petal, lavender, and cherry aromas that follow through to a medium body, fine tannins, and a fresh finish." –James Suckling, 91 points
Pairing: This wine will complement a variety of foods, including mushrooms, roasted squash and/or root vegetables, duck, steak, lamb, sausages, or lasagne.
