Nipozzano Vecchie Viti Reserva Sangiovese 2013 Chianti Rufina (Italy), 13.5% abv, $24.00

A classic Tuscan with aromas of black cherry, wet forest floor, wild fennel, and smoked pepper. The palate reemphasizes cherries with a fresh acidity joined by some dark plum fruits and leading into a long, earthy finish.
