About this wine

Colore 2018 is sourced from very old, high-altitude Sangiovese vineyards in Chianti Classico and Fiesole. The wine shows soaring aromas of red cherry, raspberry, rose, blood orange and exotic spice, with subtle earthy and smoky nuances. The palate is powerful yet finely etched, with vibrant acidity and tightly woven tannins carrying a very long, sapid finish. This is one of the most sought-after modern Sangiovese expressions.

Tasting Note

Wine Advocate praises its purity of Sangiovese fruit, layered complexity and remarkable tension, calling it a standout Colore in recent years.

In the glass

Dense ruby with a slightly transparent rim.

In the nose

Red and black cherry, rose petal, blood orange, incense and dried herbs.

On the palate

Intense and vertical, with juicy acidity, firm but refined tannins and a very long, savoury, citrus-tinged finish.
