Sportoletti, Rosso, Assisi 2006

Red. Residual CO2 evident.

Red cherry, toasted nut/lava earth aromas.

Quite intense crancherry, iron, mineral action in the mouth. This has decent flesh but also a serious backbone. Acid thrusts tannin onto the front teeth. No way this won't improve with 3-5 years in the bottle.

This must be mostly Sangiovese.

$15
