50/50 sangiovese grosso and merlot. Full bodied with dark fruit, some touches of coffee with bitterness and acidity but great structure with earthiness and great tannins with a long finish. Definitely something to try again.

Opened 6hrs before serving, no decant. Intense, gorgeous inky color. Fruits a bit hidden on the nose but after the long breathe nose is there. Wine is huge. Tannins are smooth. Gets better after each sip.
