"A blend of 85% Sangiovese and 15% Malvasia Nera, this has aromas of cedar, leather, French oak and a whiff of underbrush. Linear and on the lighter end of medium-bodied, the palate offers juicy Morello cherry, blood orange, coffee bean and ground clove before grainy tannins grip the close. Kerin O?Keefe"

"Aromas of underbrush, black fruit, toast and espresso lead the nose on the blend of Sangiovese andMalvasia Nera. The palate is still resting heavily on its oak, showing coffee, coconut, vanilla and mocha, along with dried black cherry, prune and clove. The raspy tannins need to soften up but the fruit richness is already drying up."
