The wine arrived a couple of days ago. So I was reluctant to open it, normally I will give it a few weeks to settle down. It didn’t seem to care about that and delivered one of the best expressions of Sangiovese that I have had in two years. Made of mostly Sangiovese with small amounts of Canaiolo and colorino it has a light red garnet hue. With enough balance to stand on the point of a needle it is packed with elegant forms of cherry, leather, stones and spice. Imagine one of your favorite actors playing a lesser role perfectly. And there you have it. Only negative is prices have inched up. Still, I would have purchased twice as much if offered. When first tasting the wine the following phrase developed in my mind.
“My God, it’s full of stars.”
