WineSaint
Wild cherry and licorice flow with gorgeous energy across the palate, supported by notes of leather, crushed flowers and warm spice. The tannins have shed their grip completely, revealing an inner sweetness that speaks to perfect maturity. Mineral threads weave through the long finish. This is Sangiovese at its most graceful and pure.
