"Notes of spicy cherry, wild berries and purple flowers lift from Chiara Condello's 2017 Romagna Sangiovese Predappio, followed by hints of white pepper and animal musk. On the palate, silky textures sooth the senses, ushering in ripe red and hints of blue fruit laced with saline-minerals, which create a tactile expression. The finish is long and fresh, revealing a hint of sour melon that mixes with the residual acids to create a sweet and sour effect. While the 2016 might color a little more within the classic lines and last a bit longer in the cellar, this 2017 is perfectly balanced, fruit-forward and ready to give a lot of pleasure."
