93 Wine Spectator A tight, tannic version, this red has a strong grip on its currant, cherry and strawberry fruit. Revealing mineral and tar details, this remains succulent and breezy through the lingering aftertaste; just needs to absorb the tannins. Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino. Best from 2025 through 2038.
