2016 Azienda Pietroso Sangiovese

Aromas of red cherry, flowers, light spice. Fresh, juicy, with fine-grained tannins and good length.  Three separate estate-owned and planted parcels, totaling 13.5 acres, are located not far from the town of Montalcino, between 1,200 and 1,500 feet above sea level, with varying expositions and soils. The estate uses from the same vineyards for both its Rosso and Brunello wines. Vines are 30 years, on average. Hand-harvested. Fermented on indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks; each vineyard vinified separately. Aged in older French oak tonneaux for six months, then in older, 32HL Slavonian casks (“botti”) for an additional six months. 100% Sangiovese
