Tasting notes Sotirio is our top wine, made from Sangiovese grapes, following the best tradition of production in the Siena terroir. This pure expression of Sangiovese has ruby red colour. Develops many interesting aromas such as violet, sage, bay leafs, mint, tobacco, rhubarb and red berries. On the palate is lingering long, dry, fresh with sweet tannins.
