Vigneti Vallorani | Koné DOC 2020

★★★★☆
Rated 3.9 on Vivino

Koné, which means “something precious”, is only produced in the best vintages.

Koné is an impetuous wine showing prominent acidity and elegant tannins.

Structurally similar to the other Montepulciano-Sangiovese blend (Polisia), Koné develops a bit more of a ballsy body, thanks to the 18 months of aging sur lie in French oak barrels. Maraschino cherries along with some darker notes like leather, chocolate and well-balanced spices intense both on the nose and in the mouth.
