Tasting Notes
Brilliant rich ruby red colour in the glass. Spicy nose with notes of flowers and wild berries. Spicyness continues in the mouth with wonderfully warm enveloping red fruit. A dense and well structured wine with a lengthy finish.

Winemaking Notes
100% Sangiovese grapes harvested by hand. Fermentation at 28-30C including daily punchdowns of the cap, followed by 12-15 days' maceration. 12-18 months' maturation in small-medium oak casks followed by 6-10 months' ageing in bottle prior to release.
