A Ruby red Super Tuscan, this wine is blend of 50% Sangiovese; 45% Cabernet Sauvignon as well as a little Merlot and Syrah. This wine is dominated by dark forrest fruit including black and blue berry aromas that develop on the full flavoured palate. Showing good tannin and balance the weighty finish is both long and sophisticated.
