Taste Profile

• Color: Deep ruby red

• Nose: Ripe cherry and rhubarb with hints of mint, spice, and subtle herbal tones

• Palate: Medium-bodied with juicy red fruit, balanced acidity, and fine, soft tannins; elegant and approachable with a savory, well-balanced finish

• Style: Youthful yet refined expression of Sangiovese — often considered a vibrant, accessible “baby Brunello”
