Deep garnet in color, there’s a wonderful earthy / meaty / smoked game character tot the nose with touches of sweaty leather, warm cassis, prunes and cigar boxes. Rich and full in the mouth, it’s enlivened with medium-high acid. The medium to firm level of chewy tannins nicely texture the long earthy finish.

The heartland of Sangiovese, producing Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced 'Super Tuscans' of the coast. Its wines balance bright acidity, savory structure and cellar-worthiness.
