Winemaker Notes
Beautiful, dark red color. The nose exhibits a gorgeous potpourri of flowers, thyme, and crushed raspberries. On the palate, the wine is remarkably fresh and clean with notable levity and lightness of being, all while retaining surprising intensity and density. I simply love the unique way that Sangiovese can achieve this! The tannin is wonderfully fine-grained and the acid matches perfectly. Sangiovese is our most challenging grape to farm—my favorite, and this is why!

Wine Enthusiast
Young, tangy and tart, with racy raspberries, strawberries and pomegranate––this is a vividly fruity and penetrating wine. Crisply defined, immaculately fresh, it is structured for both immediate enjoyment and cellaring over the next 6–8 years.

Wine Spectator
Ripe and floral, this is tightly wound with refined tannins, as carnation and violet overtones add interest to the cherry fruit. Finishes with finesse. Best from 2012 through 2017.
