About This Wine
This is a youthful, bright, aromatic and primary wine that is already delicious. Expect vibrant, punchy, red floral, dark cherry, plum and bitter chocolate notes and an easy, succulent texture until the pippy tannins kick in to clean up the finish. In spite of the evident ripeness, there is a racy, lineal structure, almost as if the grapes were grown at high altitude. Aging only in tank helps, as well as does the inclusion of the Alicante. Quite unlike the heavier, firmer style of Sangiovese-based wines from north/central Tuscany, this is immediately enticing and gluggable although it asks for food. Really delivers for the money in terms of absolute drinking pleasure and interest.
