Casanova Della Spinetta Sassontino

Vintage: 2006
Description: 100% Sangiovese. "The 2006 Sassontino is a pure expression of Sangiovese from 45-year-old vines. The wine ages slowly at the winery for ten years before its commercial release. This is an incredibly fine and elegant expression with wild berry aromas followed by balsam herb, cola and licorice. The vineyard site is characterized by loosely knit, sandy soils, and these contribute to the aromatic purity and finesse of the final result." - 08/2018, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate. "Hints of blueberries and pink peppercorns. rich and full, it shows intense peppery notes and hints of ripe red fruits. Elegant and precise finish, with smooth tannins." - Release Notes from Winery. " Malolactic fermentation done in French oak barrels, of which 50% new and the remaining second passage, followed by 24 months of aging. Finally, bottle aging for at least 100 months." - Winery Notes
