A blend of mostly Montepulciano with an addition of Sangiovese that is subject to cold maceration before fermentation and matures on the lees in stainless steel for ten months. The wine has a dark, ruby color with a garnet edge and an aroma that ‘balances’ on a tightrope of reduction without ever falling. The bouquet has notes of damp earth and bark on a background of violet. The mouthfeel has a bold structure, in line with the territory, but is made drinkable thanks to a pronounced salinity while the tannins are widespread and lively yet never drying. The dark finish has notes of bark and black cherry. Already very good, in fact excellent despite the need for a little more flavor, this could even improve. The quality/price ratio is commendable.
