95 Points, Wine Enthusiast.com - "The nose showcases a spectrum of umami aromas, from soil to astringent fruit to balsamic, stone and wild herbs. The palate leans into the fruity notes, with pepper providing heat and a continued metallic quality providing structure. Tightly coiled tannins and buoyant acid accentuate haughty citrus overtones."

100% Sangiovese made from vineyards in Castelnuovo dell'Abate, at elevations of 150-350 metres on well-exposed hillslopes south-east of Montalcino. Elegant and well balanced but in possession of a strong backbone. Matured in Slavonian and French oak barrels for a minimum of 24 months, in special vintages up to 36 months.
