This wine represents the 15th vintage of Sangiovese from Coriole. Made using open fermenters, the wine has been matured for 12 months in old French and American oak. Translucent crimson colour with crimson mauve hue. The nose is delicately perfumed with confectionary, lolly bag nose followed by a hint of blood plum. The palate displays only moderate length. Flavours of truffle, blood plum and confectionary emerge. Subtle but pleasing – there is nothing overt about this wine. Soft tannin structure, followed by an aftertaste of blood plum and spice. Allow the wine to age in order to gain some complexity.
