This special bottling comes from the estate's Gratius vineyard, with mixed planting of mature-vine Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino. With just a year of aging in oak (barriques and tonneaux), there's a bit more focus on the rustic charm of the fruit that takes you back to old Tuscany. Dark-toned and rich for its medium-full weight, the softly grainy tannins and inner vibrancy drive the wine. While it's still in its early stages, these textural contrasts are working together right now. Dark fruits, Iron-rich clay earthiness and blonde tobacco notes are classic for the warm hills of Panzano in Chianti.
"A dense, compact style, with muscular tannins underneath the black cherry, blackberry, iron, tobacco and earth flavors. Finds a nice equilibrium on the finish..." - Bruce sanderson, WINE SPECTATOR
