WineSaint
Dark and brooding, with cassis, espresso and graphite flowing across a muscular frame. Rose petals, tobacco and crushed herbs add aromatic lift to the wine's dense core. The 2011 shows uncommon elegance for young Sorì San Lorenzo, its powerful tannins already softening into approachable contours. Pure expression of this legendary site.
