Indigenous Sangiovese Toscana IGT 2017

Wine Enthusiast (89)- "The nose sits in the space between sweet and savory, with aromas of candied cherries and orange peel and then leather, cured meat and soil. It turns to a palate with more cherries and soil, held together with tannins that are still tightly coiled."
