Sister Moon

Il Palagio

This tête de cuvée Super Tuscan just sings. Its title is as much a reference to Sting's '89 single as it is to their biodynamic farming. At 14% and with 18 months in French barriques, this wine strikes the perfect balance between cellar worthiness and food friendliness, revealing Chianti's cooler climes compared to its more muscular brother in Montalcino. The components form a harmony of ripe sour cherry and dark forest berries, with lovely notes of smoke and spice and even some grapefruit. Juicy acidity on the palate, delicious, and elegant with a killer finish.
