Nice and light with lots of popping red fruits; red cherry, mulberry, raspberry. Subtle herbal and floral notes. Balanced, delicate and pretty.

This is made to drink now (can be served lightly chilled), if you are able to hold onto a few bottles for 2-5 years it'll soften out even more, and will become super-pretty. You won't regret holding onto some.

The Story

Tasting notes for Minimum San Selvaggio 2022 from the Winery

GRAPES
100% Sangiovese.
13% Alc/vol.

FIELD NOTES
Wild fermented on full skins in two 1500L open vats. Hand plunged twice-daily. Pressed to aged 300L barrels for full malolactic fermentation. Barrel-aged for 10 months. Bottle-aged for 18 months before release.

TASTES
Nice and light with lots of popping red fruits; red cherry, mulberry, raspberry. Subtle herbal and floral notes. Balanced, delicate and pretty.

DRINK NOW?
This is very much made to drink now (can be served lightly chilled), as we've bottle-aged it for eighteen months prior to the initial release. But, given this Sangiovese has such delicate and fine tannins, if you are able to hold onto a few bottles for 2-5 years it'll soften out even more, and will become super pretty.

PERSONA
A pensive and wise companion; young at heart, traditional in spirit.
