A youthful and measured sangiovese whose fragrance of blood plums, redcurrants and eastern spices precedes a youth, restrained palate of medium weight. It’s stylish and fine-grained, with a pleasing length of faintly sour-edged berry/cherry/plum fruit that is wrapped in a typically brisk acidity and will build richness with bottle-age.

A heady bouquet of lavender, lime and lemon becomes more mineral as the wine breathes in the glass. Typically long and supple, it reveals a luscious, pristine core of piercing citrus flavour that moves down a fine, slatey palate towards savoury and almost briny finish of minerals and green apple acids. It will evolve superbly.
