Tasting notes

This wine feels full and compact but at the same time it's slender and with a nice minerality, the result from growing on white marn, soil which reins over the south east side of Montalcino. In the nose, it expresses itself as a symphony of balanced aromas ranging from the intense smell of red-oranges and fresh mediterrean herbs. Each sip is rich, juicy and dynamic, intriguing and fun, telling the story of a wine that with time will show many interesting sides of its personality.
