Sultry, silky, and effortlessly seductive, this Sangiovese is all about pure pleasure. Juicy red cherries and wild strawberries spill from the glass, laced with crushed violets, warm spice, and a whisper of earthiness. The palate is sleek and vibrant, with supple tannins and a bright, mouthwatering acidity that keeps you coming back for more. A touch of wildness adds intrigue, while the long, lingering finish leaves a teasing kiss of spice and minerality. 

94 Points, The Wine Front: "Dixon’s Creek sangiovese. A 100% whole bunch ferment, as is the Mayer way. “These are the best 2023s I have ever made”, says Timo?

Shows scents of charcuterie, black olive, plum, black pepper. Surprisingly juicy in the palate yet also a swish of chalky tannin giving shape and a powderiness to finish. A sweetness, maybe richness let’s say, of forest berry fruits to taste but the lingering flavours are minerally, earthy and truffle-umami laced. Delightful. Almost a bold pinosity here – yet with tannin structure on song. Good gear." (of the '23)
