The sisters produce a scant amount of red wine: a charming blend of equal parts Sangiovese and Ciliegiolo called ‘Benedic.’ Despite a two-week maceration, Benedic is typically a beautifully pale, translucent wine, and this certainly fits that mold. Always harvested early for freshness, its color is calm, soft, and almost coppery — you can sense its gentle nature just from looking at it. A pure nose of red licorice, dried flowers, and fresh tobacco leads to a delicate palate; with almost no detectable tannins, crunchy red fruit, wild plum, blood orange, and Mediterranean scrubby herbs and spices, this wine is perfectly suited to a slight chill. Those expecting power may be disappointed, but a wine this guileless is nearly impossible to dislike.
