Expert's view
“The wine is made in the really famous area of Montalcino using the same grape as Brunello de Montalcino i.e. Sangiovese. It’s another alternative to the ever famous Tuscan Sangiovese-based wines like Chianti, Brunello de Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. With winemaking using mid to large sized casks, you can expect an oaky taste to the wine like more modernista eurowines.” ~ Clear Wine Co's Wine Expert
