OMG this is wine. Unlearn everything you’ve thought about Chianti and all the gold horrible Riserva stuff and come over to pure IGT Toscano Sangiovese. A nose crazy tertiary here at 7, fruit a non-stop course of cherry and blackberry along lines of acid and leather rather un-describable.
The pure pith of raunchy black cherry opens the entry, dusty velvet an unimaginable soliloquy of grandeur pasting perfect berry fruit in New World quotients down through classic channels of funk and briar. THIS is where the pure elevation of Sangio is illuminated: just abosolutely disgustingly good and ripe and polished to perfection. How much more do you want from a wine???
