Certain songs or poems impose themselves on your memory without permission from your subconscious, they just let themselves in, and the same can be said for certain wines, like this delectable Sangiovese/Merlot blend. It teleports you straight into the heart of Tuscany with its inviting, high-toned nose of spiced plums, morello cherry skins, weathered brick, tea leaves, freshly squeezed orange juice, wet leaves and old oak spice, and envelops you in its warm perfumed layers. It has a big yet entirely proportioned structure, rich, bold and mouth-filling with fine-grained tannins and a tangy vibrant finish. The flavours are at a lovely state of maturity, but the wine remains beautifully fresh. Made in a baby Super Tuscan style, this is a seriously classy drop. And to boot, as the name intimates, this estate has a rather special history of its own having initially been owned by Michelangelo in the 16^th century! 14% alc. Drink now – 2025.
