WineDiva's Review

Savoury, earthy, muscular.
This organic blend of Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot delivers warm cherries, wet leather, bruised rose petals, hay, olive branch, rosemary and oregano aromas. Intense and inky it's a muscular red with chalky (but slightly more textured) tannins. The fruit disappears on the palate leaving toasted spice heavily dusted with dark cocoa and dry earth flavours.


 
Recommended Pairings
Rich Meats , Cheese - Hard/Aged, Italian Food, Tomatoes and Tomato Sauces, Green Wines
