A superb go-to red wine blend of 90% Sangovese and 10% Canaiolo that will pair with anything from pizza to tomato sauces and lighter meats. A full nose offering aromas of dark cherry, camp smoke and spice. The wine has a soft and juicy mouth-feel with plenty of fruit. Lower in alcohol at 13%, give it at least 30 to decant for full enjoyment. Well integrated tannins with flavors of cherry, plum and oaky vanilla. Buy This Wine
