Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Intense nose, with hints of ripe red fruit nuances and some notes of cocoa and violets. On the palate, aromas of red fruits, including cherries. The palate is warm and fluid which highlight structure and body, the varietal aromas stand out with an intense tannic texture that refreshes the palate. Bodied wine, with a pleasant, long finish and velvety tannins.
Blend: 90% Sangiovese, 7% Canaiolo, 3% Colorino

James Suckling
Clean berry and cherry nose with some floral notes. Medium-bodied with fresh, silky tannins and bright acidity, which push lots of fruit though the lightly firm finish. From organically grown grapes. Compact and dense package, but good length here. Drink now, or hold for a year or two.

Wine Spectator
Black currant and black cherry fruit is underlined by lively acidity and dense tannins in this intense red. Iron, tobacco and woodsy accents play supporting roles, while the ripe fruit prevails on the lingering aftertaste. Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino.

At Dievole, good wine is the right answer to the right question, whether for vineyard or wine cellar. A good wine is the perfect union of man and nature. Dievole is an enchanted valley and we are committed to finding the right people. All evaluations, from selecting mother vine stock and clones to vintage planning and innovation in vineyards and wine cellar, are determined by one single objective: uplifting standards in the hope of creating a good wine through character and quality.
Aspiring to perfection is second nature to us
Dievole viticulture dates back to the 11th century. The first step taken to cultivate this genetic legacy was to revisit the past found in the historical memory of the farming families. New masters of wine-growing were brought in to counter environmental uniformity and monotony. Its particolar type of terroir includes such ancient classics as Barsaglina, Aleatico, Foglia Tonda, Ciliegiolo, Prugnolo Gentile, Mammolo and Saragiolo. It also covers contemporary classics such as Canaiolo a Raspo Rosso, Malvasia Nera, Syrah, Petit Verdot and the various Sangiovese clones.
