Michelini Wines Italian Selection Sangiovese 2024

The wine has a medium-intensity dark red color with aromas of dark cherry, cola, and bay leaf, complemented by a slightly waxy, vanilla oak character. On the palate, it is finely structured and medium-bodied, with flavors of sour cherry, red currant, cola, and baked rhubarb, all woven around lightly toasted oak.

The grapes were destemmed and crushed into small open fermenters, where the fermentations were plunged by hand twice daily and pumped over mid-ferment to promote color extraction and soften tannins. The wine was aged for 9 months in small-format oak, with 20% new barrels and 80% 1-2-year-old barrels. It has an aging potential of 5-7 years.
