From the Montecucco DOC in Tuscany. La Pianore is a certified organic farm with a zero carbon footprint situated in a nature refuge. The wine is a blend of Sangiovese (at least 60%) and Merlot aged in 25% Wood and 75% Stainless for six months and then another six months in bottle before being release. Ruby/purple in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose has nice cherry fruit, hay and salinity. Medium to full bodied. On the palate, this has an interesting rustic quality. Light tannins. Flavors of cherries and slight orange peel. A bit of a bitter almond on the finish. There is some alcohol showing. This is an easy drinking wine that will show much better with food. Drink over the next five to seven years.
