A blend of Syrah and Sangiovese, this wine satisfies with a layered bouquet of blueberry, cherry and dried herbs that translates well on the palate, where notes of dry earth minerality are added. Zippy acidity extends the finish, where the earth tones take center stage. A fine accompaniment to grilled meats of all types, or for pasta dishes where you’d like a little more blueberry push than a Chianti.
