Estimate
Bright and floral on the nose with orange blossom to the vivid sliced cherry character. Medium body, with ultra-fine tannins that are supple and caressing. Gorgeous cooked peach pie and cherry aftertaste.
...plump and rich with warm-vintage layers of blackberry, juicy cherry, spice and soft earth...soft tannins and rich textural support to this full-bodied Sangiovese.
This vivid red delivers telltale Sangiovese notes of iron, sanguine and tobacco that seep into a core of cherry and raspberry. Turns sleeker and more focused on the finish, where the fruit, mineral and savory elements converge.
...aromas of candied red cherries, red flowers, mint, and sweet forest herbs. Medium-bodied, it’s approachable and finely textured on the palate, with supple tannins, refreshing, evenly balanced acidity, and a lightly salty finish.
...offers plenty of upfront appeal before tapering off a bit on the mid palate and finish. Sweet red cherry fruit, spice, cedar, anise and tobacco lend notable aromatic presence to this relatively easygoing, open-knit Gran Selezione.
Carries the alcohol well, and gives delicious bitter red fruit as well as leathery, farmy notes that have a horseiness that might be brett-derived, but in context, this works well – the balance of flavour is very appealing.
