Lot 278
2019 Mansalto 2019 Sangiovese "Butia"

Initially presents with cherry candy, menthol and gobs of dark earth and coffee bean from the new French oak revealing warm and wild herbal notes of dried anise seeds and sage, tootsie roll, and truffled black cherry as it opens up. "Exploding golf ball" palate, perfectly balanced and exquisitely structured but also relatively impenetrable revealing hints of ripe red fruit, mineral-kissed oak, and smooth tannins lead to long and monolithic finish. Give this wine a couple years in the cellar at a minimum and age for the next two decades.
