Description
More solid work: Sangiovese with a bit of Barbera from older vines from Umbria 'Grand Cru' Torgiano. Umbria has very, very hot summers which makes for dark and ripe, concentrated juice. Thanks to the absence of wood in the vinification process, Mani di Luna still manages to produce very elegant, gastronomic wines. With aromas of ripe berries, cherries and pomegranate, and a delicious savoury balsamic touch. Wine that you can let come to you quietly, that surprises with every glass.
