Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Sangiovese offers a vibrant acidity that balances its firm, yet refined tannins, leading to a lingering finish of sweet spice and a mineral undertone. The wine possesses a graceful structure, unfolding with layers of dark fruit and a savory persistence that echoes the aromatic complexity.
