Tasting Notes
Antonio Galloni 96
The 2017 Toscana Sangiovese shows all the forward character of this hot, dry year in its open-knit aromatics and ripe, red-toned fruit. Sweet floral overtones, white pepper, cedar, mint and sweet pipe tobacco are some of the notes that grace this exquisite Sangiovese from Soldera. At first, the aromatics are decidedly high-toned. A touch of volatile acidity – common in this wine – is evident. In its first impression, the 2017 comes across as a bit light. Revisited 24 hours after opening, the 2017 has acquired notable depth, the flavors are darker and the volatile acidity is not at all prominent. The 2017 may be going through a period of adolescence. I look forward to checking in on it again in another few years time.
Anticipated maturity: 2027-2047
