A rich red color, the 2022 Sangiovese La Quinta is named for the fifth parcel of the estate and comes from 80-year-old vines that are not authorized for Brunello production. Jeweled in appearance, the wine is perfumed with notes of cherry liqueur, fresh leather, and roses. Medium-bodied, it has lovely purity throughout, with good concentration, an elegant structure, ripeness, a fruit-forward nature, ripe tannins, and a polished feel. It’s a very appealing wine with a warming feel, but it remains fresh and fantastically pure. It will be at its best from 2026-2036.
