A vibrant Sangiovese in an unusually elegant mold. Dark raspberry, black cherry, with autumn leaves, pepper and dried flowers. Tensile, juicy fruit core on the mid-palate with a pliant grip to finish. A good half-hour decant is recommended to draw out its innate delicacy. Minimal SO2 prior to bottling.

High-toned, ripe but cool and sleek. Cassis and wild strawberry notes complicated with smoke, black pepper and dried flowers. Concentrated, slick and juicy but also surprisingly light with supple fine tannins. Minimal SO2 prior to bottling.

Red plum, cassis, blackberry, balsamic vinaigrette, complicated with smoke, scorched earth and dried flowers. Earthy, minerally and perfectly ripened, with spreading, supple fine tannins to elongate the finish. It deserves a little more time or a whole lot more air. As always, a great value and a happy mealtime companion.

Melogranino parcel
24-months in cement, 6-months in bottle
4,800 bottles made

From 21-years old vines grown on sand, clay and silt. Spontaneous fermentation, skin maceration in cement for 30 days, 30% whole bunches, soft pressing. Unfiltered, unfined. A statuesque, moving and mature quintessence of a Tuscan red, clothed in gentle sleekness that is a signature of Maria Sole's handling. This will evolve beautifully in the glass and handsomely repay those who cellar it.

Vigna grande parcel
Aged in cement vats for 18 months plus 3 months in the bottle
110 cases made

A joyous triumph, and an unexpected beauty, meshing the tangy sour plum fruit with bright cassis, and a rich balsamic, oregano-tinged earthiness. Sleek and seamless, finishing long and sapid. So pretty... From a vineyard rich in sand and clay. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats, maceration on the skins for 7 days in cement vats. Unfiltered, unclarified.

Very pretty cherry, strawberry infused joy juice. Too easy to forget this is an alcoholic beverage, too dangerously gulpable. If you prize unfettered deliciousness, this is a no-brainer. Serve slightly chilled for best effect.

Very pretty cherry, strawberry infused joy-juice. Too easy to forget this is an alcoholic beverage, too dangerously gulpable. If you prize candour and deliciousness, this is a no-brainer. A great get-together wine. Caution: addictive.

Vigna grande, pezza centrale parcels
Aged in amphora for 6 months, 2 years in a cement vat, 6 months in bottle
700 bottles made

From 25-years old vines grown on sand, clay and silt. Whole bunches ferment spontaneously in 500-lt amphora, ageing in amphora for 6 months, followed by 2 years in a cement vat, then 6 months in bottle. Unfiltered, unfined. An elegant — almost Burgundian in its purity — expression of sangiovese. A little patience goes a long way, then it goes on and on… promising lots, lots more for its long life ahead. Fulsome this vintage and clearly needing time, but what an exquisite, precious little wine.

White wine

Aged in stainless cement vats for 6 months plus 1 month in the bottle
800 cases produced

2 days of maceration on the skins, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats. A bright, crisp, crystalline white Italian with chalky minerality dominating the flavour profile. So light-footed yet expressive with a sapid, zesty acidity that constantly refreshes. Yummy and vivacious. Unfiltered, unfined. Minimal SO2 prior to bottling.
