Note di degustazione
Medium dark red. Lovely perfumed lift to the aromas of raspberry, cherry, currant, rose petal, earth and tobacco leaf. Suave, vinous wine with good grip and medium body to its flavors of red and darker berries, spices, flowers and leather. Dried herb and menthol nuances contribute Old World complexity. The tannins are fine, dusty and broad, and the wine's floral perfume repeats on the end. This Sangiovese-based blend carries its alcohol more gracefully than the 2016 release did at the same stage. Sneaky length.

Slightly volatile on the nose, the 2017 Saggi begins dark-fruited with dark berry aromas and tones of leather, baked earth and subtle dried herbs. Full-bodied, the wine is dense and chewy but leaves me wanting more complexity, ending with flavors of bitter dark chocolate and notions of tar on the gripping and tannic finish. It doesn’t have the same depth and focus found in other bottle is in the range.
The 2017 Saggi checks in as 59% Sangiovese, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 17% Syrah that spent 18 months in 60% new oak. Its deep, saturated purple color isn't reminiscent of Sangiovese, yet it boasts rocking notes of jammy blackberries, raspberries, toasted spices, and dried flowers, with just a kiss of dried earth. Medium-bodied, with subtle oak, notable balance, and a great finish. it's another impeccably made wine by this estate that has loads to love.
