Eighteen months on lees in old oak builds remarkable depth and complexity. Honeyed stone fruit and bitter almond weave through mineral-driven textures, while salty, smoky undertones add compelling savory dimension. The SanMichele fruit shows impressive concentration despite 2017's heat, maintaining vibrant acidity through a persistent, chalky finish.
