The wine shows a bright and deep ruby colour. Rich aromas of ripe cherry, forest fruits, wild roses, dried orange peel and raspberry jam. The
nose is still young, and yet it gives advance notice of a great evolution with time. Full- bodied, the sip caresses the palate with an ascending rhythm. The tannins are perfectly weaved and the pleasantly sapid aftertaste conveys to the wine its depth and length. Il Torriano enhances the characteristics of Sangiovese in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, that is the elegance and the balance between the soft and the hard part of the wine.
