A blend of 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, this flagship super Tuscan from the Guldener family has an excellent sour cherry nose, nicely concentrated berry fruit freshness and supple tannins without being in any way over the top; the bright, vibrant Sangiovese fruit quality is lent added backbone by the touch of blackcurranty Cabernet Sauvignon.
