PRISCUS 2017
The Priscus is an old nobleman of Sangiovese, hailing back to tradition when this most typical of Tuscan varieties produced wines of lighter colour and delicate tannins. It’s born from a careful selection of ancient Sangiovese from old and younger vines farmed biodynamically, it ferments spontaneously with the skins for 15-20 days, sees a “batonnage sur lies” of another 6 and then ages in large wood for a few more months. Deeply expressive with sweet berries, light spices, iris petals, pomegranate chutney, gamey notes and complex balsamic accents.
