Country: Italy / L’Erpico
Variety: Sangiovese Tuscany
Winery: Piandibugnano / Montecucco
L’Erpico is a dense and meaty expression of Sangiovese from Montecucco (coastal Tuscany) that opens with ripe cherry, blackberry and meaty tones of bacon and moist earth. There’s an interesting juxtaposition in the mouth of sweet versus sour fruit flavors.
