Tasting notes
There is a precision and sharpness to the 2015 Cavaliere that I don't think we've seen from this estate in the past. It's light garnet in color, with notes of violets and red berry fruit, some minerality in there, and then dusty tannins on the close. There is some real sharpness to this monovarietal Sangiovese from the Tuscan Coast.

The 2015 Cavaliere offers a characteristically rich expression of Maremma Sangiovese. Ample, creamy and super-expressive, the Cavaliere is gorgeous. Sweet tobacco, mint and dried cherry fruit all flesh out. As always, the Cavaliere speaks with notable authority. I would prefer to drink the 2015 sooner rather than later, as the first signs of aromatic development have started to appear.
