Country: Italy / Tauleto
Variety: Sangiovese Central Italy
Winery: Umberto Cesari / Rubicone
This is a boldly extracted and concentrated expression of Sangiovese (with 10% of the Bursona Longanesi grape) that delivers steady and bold oak aromas. The wood influences are almost too much but will surely integrate as the wine ages in the bottle. Beyond all that spice and toast is a solid core of black berry fruit and prune.
