Ripe and decidedly spicy, the nose shows notes of black plums, blackberries, wild myrtle, coriander, juniper berries and lots of coffee beans. Full body, dense and extremely captivating in the sip it closes harmonious and balanced while showing a significant amount of sugar in the matrix. Drink now or get old.

This wine is produced only in top great vintages, using the finest grapes selected from the San Marcellino vineyard that surrounds the Church of San Marcellino in Monti in Chianti: Since 2006 the San Marcellino cuvee has included about 5% Pugnitello. The wine ages for about 24 months in medium toast barriques from Allier. It is bottled unfiltered to preserve its elegance and freshness, and aged in bottle for at least 24 months prior to release. San Marcellino displays beautiful structure, with vibrant, elegant tannins accompanied by harmonious savory accents. It’s an extremely well balanced, persistent wine.
