(100% sangiovese) Full ruby tending to garnet. Enticing aromas of plum and anise segue into lovely cherry and redcurrant flavors, enhanced by chocolate, espresso and spicy cedar, all displayed with excellent clarity. Medium- to full-bodied, this plush, luscious wine is very elegantly structured, with velvety tannins and a mineral edge to its long finish.-- Edward Beltrami
