The 2018 Leonetti Sangiovese is an absolute knockout. A classic Tuscan styled Sangiovese, this offers beautiful aromatics of dark cherries, black raspberries and plums that are accented by leather, crushed stone, truffle, dried exotic spices and dried florals. On the palate this is just as impressive, displaying an incredible polished texture and fantastic overall balance and poise. There is a wonderful combination of fresh acidity and underlying minerality that frames the core of gorgeous fruit and earthy flavors. Everything all builds up to the delicious finish that lingers on. This is a magnificent wine that is impressive in its youth, but also shows incredible promise for a long, bright future ahead.
