Virgilio 2020 · Marche Sangiovese IGT
Score: 90–92,9
Virgilio opens with a universe of red fruit led by blackberry, followed by rose, white pepper, walnut husk, and sweet tobacco, merging with underbrush humus and a minty balsamic hint.
Incense and pine bark accompany a siliceous minerality from rocky, sun-facing soils where each vine gathers warmth and character.
On the palate the tannic weave is pleasant, supported by a smooth sip where alcohol warmth balances the lively Sangiovese freshness — an authentic expression of Marche tradition.
