Tasting notes
This is a sensual wine with black cherry fruit notes, tobacco and hints of licorice and spice. The elegant tannins and well balanced with the fruit show an optimal maturity of the grapes. The long, juicy, fresh and pleasant finish, with the crispness and texture, express the authentic character of Sangiovese from Castelnuovo Berardenga.
We are proud to be certified organic and carbon neutral.
