The 2015 Valdarno di Sopra Vigna dell'Impero offers aromas of candied cherry, blackberry, spice and leather. The finish is on the soft side, and I am assigning a slightly shorter drinking window for this warm vintage as a result. The fruit is concentrated and rich, thanks to the heat of the growing season. The wine ages in large oak casks for two years. Some 12,688 bottles were made.

Though ripe, sporting plum and cherry notes, this red is taut due to the lively acidity and dusty tannins. Hints of mint, iron and underbrush complete the profile. Shows fine balance and tension overall. Sangiovese. Best from 2021 through 2033.—B.S
