Scipio Toscana IGT

Tenuta Sette Cieli, SCIPIO Toscana IGT

Aromas of black berries, bell peppers, and tobacco are followed by dark fruit, damp earth, hints of dark chocolate, herbs, and even a hint of seaweed. The palate is concentrated, refined, cohesive, and grippy. The finish is spicy with coffee and pepper, and a refreshing acidity lingers.
