After 15 days fermenting in stainless steel tanks, and aging for 12 to 18 months in oak casks, this pure Sangiovese from the hills around Montalcino is a deep dark ruby wine displaying supple aromas of currants, chocolate and violets. While all the stars align on the nose, so do the flavors... combining in a complex mid-palate of ripe cherries and spices, with well structured tannins and a velvety finish.
This is a real find at about $15 per bottle at Rosetta Wines... ok, it's not a Brunello Di Montalcino, but it's as close as you're gonna get for the price.
