The wine was fermented in steel and concrete tanks, and then saw 10 months of aging in 8-year-old French oak barrels. Therefore, what you smell, and taste, has absolutely no "oakiness" — just the pure, unvarnished taste of the Sangiovese grape.
But because the grapes were "soaked" for 10 days with the whole clusters intact, there is a tiny bit of tannin grip that was derived from that contact with stems; yet the wine still feels light, silky and very zesty.
