During my first visit to a Tuscan Estate back in 2008, the winemaker explained to our party in his best English that “Sangiovese no move,” meaning that it was meant for Tuscany and nowhere else. This wine manages to do just fine several hundred miles down the boot, though it comes with its own style, as it should. An aromatic orange blossom top note leads to a dark palate of black cherry, citrus zest and soft sage, and bright acidity extends the finish. Sometimes a little move is a good move.
