Although the weather was normal, yield was abundant which meant the grapes risked lacking in concentration, a big problem in the winery. This is again a 100% Sangiovese but one that aged in new, split-oak barriques. The wine has a concentrated, ruby color and an aroma that is more spicy than fruity with notes of cloves, pink pepper and vanilla on a floral and balsamic background with some hints of dark fruit. The mouthfeel is fresh and bold and still youthful with integrated and soft tannins, great texture and a long, fruity finish.
