description: Aromas of toasted oak, coffee bean, anisette, dried plum and a whiff of coconut lead the nose of this blend of Sangiovese, 15% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Reflecting the heat of the vintage, the palate is rather evolved and abrupt, offering dried black cherry, espresso and grilled sage but not much fruit richness. Aggressive, astringent tannins dry out the finish.
variety: Red Blend
