Nose
Fresh scent, complex with intense fruit reminiscent of the scents of red berry fruit such as cherry, currants, blackberry and raspberry. The spicy notes lead back to licorice, cloves, cinnamon, pepper and dark chocolate with a vanilla finish.
Palate
The taste is warm and enveloping with elegant tannins.
Growing Conditions
Lodolaio is born from Sangiovese grapes obtained from reproduction by mass selection of vines of ancient origin, a true corporate heritage, in a soil characterized mainly by galestro and alberese.
The year 2018 was characterized by constant heat, without excessive peaks, which helped the ripening of the grapes. The excellent summer and the accentuated temperature range created an ideal climate for the production of wines with high aromatic profiles and with excellent acidity. A vintage that, more than others, will enhance the characteristics of Sangiovese, with anthocyans, polyphenols and varietal perfumes of great uniqueness and concentration.
