This blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Canaiolo is a lazer focused and charming expression that always exudes a classic Radda profile. Natural yeast fermentation takes place in cement tanks followed by 25 days of maceration, and the wine is aged in large oak only for 16 months, with no filtering or fining. Exceptional class and purity are on display here, despite the challenges of the growing season – in fact, maybe thanks to. The 2023 vintage was Michele's most difficult, he said, due to disease pressure; as such, they lost 50% of production. Michele bottled of none of his other offerings (no Campitello, no Baron Ugo) because of the small yields, meaning all the fruit from all the prized parcels went into this. A gorgeous crystal ruby red, with enticing aromas of black cherry, cedar, licorice, spice, tobacco and menthol that fill out the layers effortlessly, bolstered by fresh acidity, silky tannins, and a long finish. Rich and refined but vibrant and ever so easy-drinking even at this young age, pair it with everything from pizza to roast lamb and enjoy this Tuscan beauty.
