Packed with fresh black cherry, blackberry and black currant fruit, this red is smooth and enticing. Mineral, eucalyptus and tobacco elements add complexity, while the lively acidity drives the long finish. A compelling red, with terrific balance. Best from 2027 through 2045. 1,388 cases made, 528 cases imported.

A well-driven, composed, textured and focused gran selezione. The nose shows aromas of dark cherries, dark plums, grilled herbs, chestnuts and baking spices. It’s full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Dense and vibrant at the center, thanks to a lift of spices and dried herbs kicking in. Focused and well defined, with a long, flavorful finish. Try after 2025.

Sourced from a single 2ha block of Sangiovese, this 2021 Strada al Sasso has a gorgeous nose of fleshy, balsamic cherries which leads into an equally forward and fleshy palate of succulent, sapid red and black fruits. Fine, chalky tannins underline this vibrancy, while herbal and balsamic notes provide lift. Salinity emerges on the mid-palate and extends the fragrant dried cherry and herb finish. It's focused and vertical despite the opulence and fleshiness on display, and remains in balance even with its 15% alcohol.
