CLASSIC TUSCAN SANGIOVESE
Drinking this wine is like eating berries in a Tuscan forest, where the spicy scents of the underbrush mingle with the sweetness of the fruit. Cinabro Riserva is 100 per cent Sangiovese. A quintessential taste of Tuscany, the Sangiovese grape is descended from a native wild vine cultivated by the Etruscans in the 6th century BC. Cinabro Riserva is earthy and hearty, with black cherry, vanilla and a hint of smokiness. It is aged for three years before release.

From the winemaker

The grapes are left on the vine for as long as possible to intensify the flavour and produce a higher alcohol content. They are harvested in mid October, crushed and fermented before being rested for one year in barrique (small oak barrels) to impart more oak and earthiness into the wine, and one year in large barrels. This produces pure Sangiovese of extreme class and elegance that can be aged in the bottle for up to 15 years. It can be drunk as a young or old wine. Best opened an hour before drinking to breathe.

The wine is full-bodied, with intense aromas of cherry, violet, tobacco, spicy and balsamic.
