Tenuta il Palagio When We Dance Chianti 2018
Tuscany, ItalyTuscany's Villa Il Palagio has been a vine growing and wine making estate since the 16th century. For the last two decades it's been the summer home of Sting and Trudy Styler, who have transformed the estate into a vibrant organic farm and vineyard. Over that time, they've worked with consultants Alan York and Pedro Parra to design the vineyards and farming practices. This sangiovese is splashed with canaiolo and colorino, and was fermented and aged in stainless for six months. Lighter in body and hue, with scents of red flowers, light balsamic, cherries on a tightly strung frame. Tannins are finely grippy, drawing this to a salted, bitter cherry finish. Lighter, fresher style Chianti.Tasted: 18 December 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $23.95 | 750ml | consignment |
