A beautiful quote stands on the label of this wine dedicated to the Gran Baron Hugh of Brandenburg, Marquis of Tuscany in the tenth century. Figure that has well represented the spirit of "pleasure-seeking" of the Tuscan people, and which, at times, they have in common with those of today. Vitali, a bit 'ironic and who want to enjoy life to the fullest. Yeah ... wine like this. The quote is none other than Dante Alighieri. Stuff ambitious prelude to a meaningful concept of Tuscan. While the author of this sumptuous wine, could not that be the Michele Braganti from Monteraponi. Sumptuousness that we like very much, as it brings up the great reputation of the Sangiovese di Radda. On the one hand capable of being fine and delicate, the other pouring potent and full on the palate, although with a character a bit 'grumpy to start tasting. He comes from a vine that climbs about 500 meters above sea level, bristling like a few, well exposed and made of marl and limestone, the mother of one of the most pure Sangiovese in traditional key that you can meet in your wandering the land of Dante.

Clear, bright and airy with changes in garnet, with a nose deep in her expression "earthy" explosives in the red fruit of cherry and currant, delicate floral in purple.

Great on the palate because he felt immediately that he has the makings of a champion, able to be both elegant and smooth. Rich and energetic in acidity, tannins are well executed.

A dynamic son of a beautiful vintage and happily projected towards a future excellent. Only 3200 bottles, only in a great vintages.
