A lively, spirited sip. 

The Purple Turtle of Tuscany di Castello Monterinaldi si presenta con un rosso rubino molto intenso. Al naso restituisce un bel fruttato, con note di frutta a bacca nera, dove spiccano ricordi di mora di rovo e mirtillo. Al palato è avvolgente, con una sensazione di morbidezza bilanciata da una buona vena acida che arriva dal Sangiovese. I tannini sono ben integrati e setosi. In bocca ritornano note di frutta fragrante e lievi sentori di terra bagnata.
