"Made entirely from organically grown Sangiovese, it opens with aromas reminiscent of ripe red berries, cedar and Mediterranean scrub. The juicy palate offers raspberry jam, red cherry and white pepper with fresh acidity and supple tannins. Drink through 2023. (Wine Enthusiast 2020). Extraordinary value for money!

Expert opinion
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated (guide 2021) 90/100 (Wonderful wine)
Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Another expression of organic Sangiovese from Lorenzo Zonin's dynamic Podere San Cristoforo, the 2018 Maremma Toscana Sangiovese Amaranto shows a robust, moderately concentrated constitution. This expression reveals dark fruit and plum with more tonic notes of wild cherry and rose on the back end. The tannins are a little rougher for this wine.
