Fattoria Selvapiana

Crushed cherry and red currant appear with red flowers, orange rind and crushed stone. Tart acidity accompanies fine, long, dry tannins and a lighter-bodied profile; a bitter-edged saline finish follows. Sangiovese is joined by small amounts of Canaiolo, Colorino and Malvasia Nera. Native-yeast fermentation and maceration last twenty-five days in stainless steel, followed by twelve months in large French casks.
