| Notes | "Aromas of ripe strawberries and spicy tea follow through to a full body, chewy and polished tannins and a succulent finish. Balanced and pretty. Better in 2019." James Suckling: 93 points. "A soft and supple expression of Sangiovese. This oak-driven wine offers a generous bouquet that is based in part on dark cherry and primary fruit, and in part on spicy tones of toast and smoke. The brightness of the acidity also comes as a surprise given the warm vintage. That freshness is essential to the wine's aging potential." (Wine Advocate) | |||
