'Sister Moon' Toscana Rosso IGT

Il Palagio

The Sister Moon cuvée was the original flagship Super-Tuscan from Il Palagio, dating back to their first vintage. Its title is as much a nod to Sting's award-winning single as it is to the Domaine's biodynamic farming. The wine reveals the structure and dense tannins implied by Chianti's cooler climes compared to its more muscular brothers in Montalcino. The components form a harmony of ripe black and morello cherry and dark forest berries and citrus oils, with lovely notes of fine oak's warming spices and vanilla, and the gathering notes of tobacco and chocolate as the wine ages. Juicy acidity on the palate, delicious, and elegant with a killer finish.
