A blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot fermented in stainless steel. Expect a bouquet of cherries, black licorice and leather with a truffle note. Full on the palate and rather supple, drinking well already, very pleasant and really well priced. Lots of flavour here. Food match: tomato-based pastas, fresh Parmesan.
$16.95, Vintages #244228.
