2016 vintage.
75 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 % Sangiovese, 5% Cabernet Franc.
Grapes are sourced from Tenuta San Giovanni vineyard in Chianti Classico.
Aged 16 months in barriques (70 % new) of which 6 months is on the lees then 12 months in bottle before release.
Rich dark cherry, mocha and cassis on the nose.
Blackberry and dark fruits, earthy, tobacco, dried herbs with robust tannins.
Really smooth and astringent finish.
I don’t normally decant a wine for an hour but this definitely needed it.
