The label is better than the wine, but in the spirit of describing I find a red licorice with a dried red fruit

Had higher hopes for this. Tart, simple, and unbalanced.

Straightforward and cherry-scented, with positive floral additions, creating hopes for complexity which does not arrive. Simple, fruity mouthfeel with a juicy, yet short finish.

Now that I've finished basking in its afterglow I think I'll jot down a few notes...

90% Sangiovese, 7% Canaiolo, 3% Colorino. It opens to red fruits, rich chocolate, and charcoal. Surprisingly soft tannins gently welcome me into flavors of dark cherry, under- ripe plum, and anise. As it leaves with a swift kiss of mineral and thyme, I'm left longing for a bit more.
