Sette Ponti 2018 Vigna Dell'Impero 750ml

The 2018 Vigna dell' Impero, Sette Ponti's best Sangiovese, is gorgeous. It offers up an exciting mélange of crushed red berry fruit, sweet pipe tobacco, mint, anise and rose petal in a style that marries the transparency of Sangiovese with the textural richness these wines have always shown. That's a pretty appealing combination in my book.
