Producer:
Grape Variety:
100% Sangiovese
Tasting Note:
Wild blueberries, crushed violets, allspice, spiced orange peel and a hint of cocoa are found in the glass. The region's clay soils give the wine a velvety smooth and undeniably elegant feel with a dense textural wave of ripe, dark red fruits that coat the palate in concentration, complemented by sweet herbal notes within and a hint of lavender. Like the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove, the 2018 reveals a massive wall of fine-grained tannins on the finish, leaving only nuances of sour citrus and currants. This untamed beast of a Brunello will need a long ageing to develop all its charms. It's worth noting that no Riserva PS is bottled in this vintage, so all the juice was used to top up the Pelagrilli and Rosso.
Vinification:
In 1970, the family owns 5 hectares (Now 60 hectares) and produces less than 50,000 bottles using Organic Viticulture.
