Dressed in intense garnet in the first years, with an almost inky core and violet glints that betray the youth of high-altitude Sangiovese. A dense robe, a clean shine and a notable viscosity that traces slow tears down the glass. Over the years it evolves towards tile, brick and orange tones at the rim —the visual stopwatch of an age-worthy Sangiovese.

A foreground of ripe black cherry, stewed plum and dried violet. Behind it, the galestro signs its name: damp earth, young truffle, light tobacco and mineral graphite. The French oak ageing brings cedar, clove, liquorice and a veil of roasted coffee; with air, a fresh note of dried orange peel appears, lengthening the aroma without losing its verticality.

A broad, fleshy entry with fine, round, perfectly polymerised tannins —signed by Roberto Cipresso's dissociation vinification. A lively but integrated acidity that holds the whole together without hardening it. Medium-to-full bodied, a surgical balance between fruit, minerality and oak. A long, saline, persistent aftertaste: the dried cherry returns, the roasted coffee, and an echo of galestro that lingers for more than a minute on the palate.
