Winemaker Patrick Muran utilizes the full arsenal to make this lovely Sangiovese. Large oak barrels, small oak barrels, early picked fruit, ripe fruit — you name it, he employed it to get a palette of choice that would result in the pleasing of your palate. Walking the line between an acid driven food wine and a ripe Paso style fruit bomb, this is a food friendly package that shows solid varietal character, with cherry, brush, anise and citrus zest well integrated in aroma and flavor profiles, and a blooming finish that lingers long.
