Score: ✧✧✧ |
Cortona Sangiovese shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of ruby
red, moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean and pleasing
aromas which start with hints of cherry, plum and raspberry followed by
aromas of violet, vanilla and carob. The mouth has good correspondence to
the nose, a slightly tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, good
body, intense flavors, pleasing crispness. The finish is persistent with
flavors of cherry, plum and raspberry. Cortona Sangiovese ages in steel
tanks and cask. |
