Tolaini Al Passo 2015
Al Passo is a small circular forest with an interior passage ("al passo") at the highest point of the Tolaini vineyard with a breathtaking view of the towers of Siena, the town of Montalcino and Montepulciano to the east. It was in Al Passo that we discovered and restored an Etruscan tomb and ruins. Distinct aromas of cherry and berry, the palate shows the classic backbone of Sangiovese (85%) with a complement of Merlot (15%). This wine shows a true sense of place.

Colour

Clear, bright ruby-red with a nail tending to garnet with aging.

Bouquet

Clean with aromas of red fruits, licorice and vanilla, spicy notes of black pepper.

Flavour

Good body with fairly soft tannins, aromas of ripe fruit, vanilla and licorice with rich and spicy aftertaste.
