Country: Italy / Tuscany
Variety: Sangiovese
Winery: Fattoria dei Barbi / Riserva
This delivers a classic Sangiovese nose of wild cherry, leather, violet, iris, flint and spice. The dense palate reveals fleshy black cherry uplifted by menthol, eucalyptus, black pepper and sage. It’s still young but should develop more complexity over the next few years. Drink 2016–2023.
