2018 Sangiovese Riserva
The local Tuscan type of Sangiovese referred to as Brunello or Prugnolo Gentile, has thicker skinned berries, which produces wines with exceptionally bold fruit flavors, high tannin and high acidity. When given a prolonged period of ageing, the Sangiovese will develop elegantly into an experience worthy Brunello, well worth the wait.
