The Wine
The wine is brick red in colour with a cherry hue. There are initial notes of sweet mixed berry and red cherry on the nose which lead to spicy and earthy characters as the wine opens. The palate is rich and seductive with plums, cherries, hints of leather and the soft earthy notes we look for in this wine. The balance of fresh fruit and soft acidity, blended with savoury tannins, give this wine both drink now and aging capabilities.
Winemaking
Selected from our three best sites, our signature Pietra Rossa Sangiovese—named for the red soil in which it’s grown—displays a rich and complex balance of herbs, plums and spices. Enjoy today or cellar up to 15 years. A Sangiovese as rich and textural as this, deserves a feast to match. Consider Bistecca Florentina—Chianina Beef, grilled over redhot coals and brushed with olive oil, rosemary and sage.
