Nose
Heady aromas of cranberries, crisp apple skin and a touch of leather fill the nose.
Palate
In the glass the wine is crystal clear and moderately deep scarlet. The palate has all the flavors one might expect from a Sangiovese, clean red fruits, bright acidity, persistent yet refreshingly crisp tannins and all finished with underlying complex notes of leather, dried earth and violets.
Growing Conditions
2015 provided an excellent growing season for our vineyards. Naturally low yields from a cool period of weather during fruit-set gave us concentrated grapes and open, disease free clusters. Warm to moderate temperatures throughout the year helped preserve acidity, whilst rapidly generating sugars. One of the earliest harvest’s on record, meant we had picked out the blocks by mid-august, harvesting grapes that were perfectly ripe, intense and delightfully aromatic with a perfect balance of acidity.
