Sansi" means "San Siro" in Piedmont dialect, the name of the place where the estate's winery is located. This cuvée is a sign of our determination to make a top-of-the-range wine. In Italy, the first attempts at this type of wine are known as "cavallo di battagli": the mount with which one launches oneself, hence the label. Sansi 2004 is richly aromatic, with notes of ripe fruit, cocoa and spices (vanilla), and a long, lingering finish. A very fine bottle!
