Sweet dark berries such as blackberry, cassis and black cherry, backed by dark chocolate, thyme, rosemary and floral accents of rose and violet.
Palate
Delicate and velvety with a silky tannin structure, lively acidity and pronounced mineral depth.
Character
Elegant, profound and highly sophisticated with great ageing potential.
Pairing
Pairs brilliantly with wild boar ragout with pappardelle, duck breast with peppered cherries or chestnut and walnut crostini.
Notes
A single-varietal, certified biodynamic Sangiovese from low-yielding vines grown on sites with fossil-rich seashell and galestro soils.
Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Muted cherry red, almost opaque right to the rim of the glass.
Nose
Captivating and driven by sweetish fruit. Aromas of blackberries, cassis and black cherries combine with fine dark chocolate as well as wild herbs such as thyme and rosemary. Floral accents of rose petals and violets give the opening an ethereal, feminine note. The chalky, fossil-rich origin already reveals itself here through a deep-reaching minerality.
Palate
On the palate, this wine impresses with elegance and polished finesse. The silky tannin structure and an invigorating acidity catch the dark fruit perfectly. Gliding over the tongue like velvet and silk, the wine nevertheless shows enough grip for a long evolution. After being open for two days, it reveals its full, masterful balance.
Terroir & Origin
Grown in Montalcino at altitudes between 300 and 400 metres. The soils composed of Galestro and fossilised shells lend the Sangiovese its striking complexity. Jan Erbach and Caroline Pobitzer conduct meticulous geological research across their four single-vineyard sites.
Grape Variety & Vinification
100% Sangiovese Grosso. Winemaking follows uncompromising quality principles: the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation in open wooden cuves and are aged in large wooden casks without oenological interventions.
Food Pairings
An excellent match for wild boar ragout with pappardelle, crispy duck breast with pepper cherries and polenta or autumnal chestnut, grape and walnut crostini. Decanting beforehand is recommended.
Special Features
Certified biodynamic. In response to the Brunellopoli scandal, the producers champion total transparency and the Sangiovese Per Amico movement. Extremely low yields: a single vine ultimately yields just one bottle of wine.
