85% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo, and 5% Malvasia Nera
Vegan
Broad bright red color, fairly dark for Sangiovese (due to the long maceration, apparently); complex aroma and flavor of cherries, tea leaf, spices, a hint of mint. On the palate, this has the weight and beefy structure of a Riserva, very long and complex. Cries out for bistecca alla fiorentina.
15 - 20 day fermentation in 20, 30 and 40 hl stainless steel tanks, and conical Slavoninan oak tank. 120 day maceration for Sangiovese; 3 weeks for other grapes
