Clos Marfisi "Gritole" Patrimonio 2017

Patrimonio Rouge “Gritole” is 100% Niellucciu (Sangiovese) from vines planted in 1990 facing west; all limestone soils in a parcel closer to the austere coastline. Very gentle pressing into stainless for fermentation, with 18 months of élevage in cement. An almost translucent purple in the glass, this is an approachable wine with aromas of rose hips, red currants, stewed plums, Moroccan spices, and a little bit of earthy mineral aromas coming from the limestone.
