description: Older vines from the named vineyard provide the fruit for this 100% Sangiovese, barrique-aged Super Tuscan. The cherry, tart-berry and chocolate aromas pick up vibrant licorice accents as they blossom into full flavors on the palate. The already svelte mouthfeel should only improve, as the still substantial, firm tannins on the cocoa-tinged finish resolve. Hold for three years; drink 2004–2010.
variety: Sangiovese
designation: San Martino
