This young and fresh red wine blend of the local Sangiovese Gentile or Prugnolo, as it’s known in Montepulciano, and native Mammolo grape varietals has retained all of the freshness and fruitiness of a wine unaltered by oak aging. Mammolo is also the Italian term for violets and this wine expresses distinct floral aromas, particularly of violets.
