2021 Poggio della Dogana Sangiovese Superiore DOC 'I Quattro Bastioni'

100% certified organic Sangiovese from nine acres of 25 year old vines on the old Tuscan border overlooking Terra del Sole. Hand harvested, fermented with native yeasts, and aged for 9 months in cement. Unfined and unfiltered. 825 cases made. The color is intensely dark, and the nose is explosive with dark berries, bright orange, violets, soil notes, and spice–this is a wine that grabs your attention.  Medium bodied and very smooth. Fresh, lively, and vivacious. Quattro Bastioni refers to the four bastions anchoring the original fortified walls of Terra del Sole, built by the Medicis in 1564. This is a lovely expression of cooler-climate Sangiovese- it’s a little softer, fruiter, and fresher in style than Chianti and Brunello. Lovely stuff!
