Review:
Aromatics of cassis, cherries, and plums mingle with campfire spice, vanilla, and dark chocolate on the nose. A sip delivers flavors of ripe plum, red cherry, and sweet currant that interweave with traces of smoky vanilla, violets, and chocolate. Quite complex and rather silky, sip a glass on its own or pair with roast duck.

Review:
Strawberries, ripe figs, and plums exude from a glass. The palate interweaves fruit flavors of plum, cherry, and fig with lovely clove and minerals suggestions. A delicate yet still fairly complex wine, the tannins and acidity are quite mellow, making grilled salmon a good choice for your accompanying meal.

Aromas of strawberries, plums, and cherries meld with caramel, smoky oak, agave syrup on the nose . Ripe strawberry, red cherry, and pomegranate jam flow into creamy caramal, smoky clove, and honey on the palate. Elegant yet layered, it's not your typical Sangiovese (at all), but it's very tasty.

Strawberries, raspberries, and fresh pomegranate syrup are in harmony with traces of vanilla and sweet spice on the nose. Flavors of strawberry, cherry, and pomegranate emerge on the palate, flowing into elements of all-spice and toasty vanilla. No mouth-puckering acidity like it's Italian counterparts, just waves of smooth, layered fruit that are very enjoyable.

Lush notes of blackberries, dark cherries, and blueberries dance with undertones of anise, clove, and roasted coffee on the nose.
