Structured, persuasive, persistent
After 12 long years in the cellar and made only in the best vintages, Sezzana, our most historic vineyard, gives us a wonderful expression of Sangiovese. On the nose it shows hints of violet and ripe cherries as well as leather and sweet spices. In the mouth it is well-structured, with soft and persuasive tannins and a persistent finish.
