Gorgeous energy and vibrancy transform this historically powerful site. Wild cherry and cedar flow with unexpected grace, while iron, herbs and smoke build effortlessly beneath. The tannins remain formidable but carry remarkable finesse for Sorì San Lorenzo. A stunning marriage of muscle and elegance that demands patience.
