100% Sangiovese Grosso.
Pian delle Vigne is an intense ruby red color. On the nose complex aromas of ripe red fruit, cherries in particular, perfectly blend with light floral notes. Its bouquet is completed by hints of chocolate, tobacco, cloves and aromatic and balsamic herbs. The 2016 vintage expresses great finesse and elegance giving the wine excellent freshness accompanied by soft tannins and an extraordinary lengthy finish. Initial notes of tobacco and spices reappear in the finish.
