A super Tuscan styled blend of 63% Sangiovese and 37% Cabernet Sauvignon form an up-and-coming area that delivers rich red fruit, earthy minerality and brown spice over a firm tannic structure that’s just beginning to unwind. Wild boar comes to mind as a possible match made in heaven here – the wine’s got the stuffing to handle it. A Double Gold Award winner at the 2020 Toast of the Coast International Wine Competition.
