Winery Review: Aromas of violet, dark berry and underbrush lead the nose on this 90% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot and 5% Colorino blend. The juicy palate offers black cherry, star anise and white pepper alongside pliant tannins. Medium ruby color; aromas and flavors of dried cherry, red berry fruit and gentle baking spice; dry, medium-bodied, mild tannins and refreshing acidity. The bouquet is reminiscent of ripe plums spiced with pepper and wood nuances. The first sip reveals invigorating flavors of cherry, blackberry, and spice followed by a dry vivid finish.
My Review: Cherry and some red berry blend are present immediately. Smoke and oak with a slight tobacco note then becomes evident. Tart cherry followed by more berry cover the palate. It’s also a bit peppery. It has a light body but is a bit tannic. It is kind of one note and could do with some more breathing.
