Ripe Sangiovese grapes from high vineyards in the Ascoli Piceno area of Le Marche have been crafted into a charming new Italian red. Its minimalist label is utterly in keeping with the contents - this is a chic and lightly oaked modern style wine that's both harmonious and perfectly pitched for wining and dining. On the nose there's sweet oaky fruit - in the mouth its smooth and mellow with hints of cherry, plum and vanilla... and the tannins are just right.
