Tasting Notes
In the glass, Pettirosso 2024 shows a bright ruby color with youthful clarity and energy. The nose is lifted and inviting, with notes of sour cherry, red berries, violets, herbs, and a subtle earthy nuance that gives the wine depth and personality. On the palate, it is fresh and finely structured, with crisp red fruit, savory spice, and the bright acidity that Sangiovese is known for. Tannins are present but refined, making the wine approachable now while still offering enough framework to develop gracefully over the next few years.
