Armand Heitz Folie Sauvage 2019 - 1.5 Litre Bottle

A very special label to celebrate the founder Sergio Manetti. Aged in Slavonian oak, it's the third of the Montevertine wines, an entry-level, to an estate whose wines are much sought after. They have a relaxed purity that makes them simply good company. Medium ruby. Lovely cherries and mineral nose with light hints of tobacco. Quietly tangy cherry flavours, smooth and soft, but very cohesive and smooth, a silky wine that goes down quickly. Dry, medium-bodied. Beautiful ruby colour, the wine is intense and complex, with crushed raspberries, cherry, pomegranate, cranberry, bergamot, dried herbs, dusty earth, and wet stone on the nose. The wine is dry on the palate with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid, confirming the tart red fruits, dried herbs, orange citrus, and earth. Long, satisfying finish that is somewhat savoury.
