A very good year that was a bit hot in the summer which is evident in the tannins. The first vintage from Paolo Harri.
Made from Sangiovese grapes, matured for four years in Allier and Slavonian oak barrels and aged for two years in the bottle.
A dark ruby color with a slightly garnet edge. The bouquet has dark fruity notes that are almost jammy followed by scents of dark spice and a touch of tobacco. The mouthfeel is compact and almost muscular with crispy tannins that contrast with the thick body but settle down in the progression. The aftertaste is flavorful, bold and persistent.
