A striking purple-cherry red colour comes accompanied by some typical Sangiovese Brio – all bright, cherry-infused, savoury and dry. Red cherry, wild raspberry, sour cherry, thyme, earth and clay pot flavours range wide across the palate, seasoned nicely with a good lick of baking spices. Maturation in 2000L foudre for...

The 2024 Pigato is 100% Vermentino and pours with a gentle haze in the glass. There are notes of lemon barley, white pepper, green apple skin, rose petals and musk oil and also cloves. In the mouth, the wine is driven by intense acidity; but totally on the rails and...
