Winery review: "Showing notes of sandalwood, espresso and red berries on the nose, this wine has a lovely silky attack and an attractive ferrous quality complementing red plum and earth notes. It has excellent length and is ready to drink now. A blend of 80% Sangiovese, 20% Ciliegiolo, Canaiolo and Colorino aged 24 months in 500L oak tonneau. Produced in the Monsanto - Barberino Val d’Elsa zone with limestone and clay soil at about 400m altitude. The 15 ha vineyard is organically farmed."
My review: Week later blah blah blah. This wine smelled bitter and flat. It tasted bitter, flat, slightly chocolaty, and like leather. There was no deepness to it at all and I did not enjoy it. Would not pick up a bottle.
I did not have this with food.
