Sangiovese (95%), Canaiolo nero (5%)
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✭

This wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean and pleasing aromas that start with hints of black cherry, plum and blackberry followed by aromas of violet, raspberry and blueberry. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic and crisp attack, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is pretty persistent with flavors of plum and black cherry.
