Tasting Notes

Vinous Ian d'Agata - 01 Sep 14
(100% sangiovese): Good full red. Knockout nose combines ripe red cherry, dried flowers, licorice and marzipan. Juicy, pure and delineated, with bright acidity giving cut and penetration to the red cherry, raspberry, vanilla and floral flavors. Already delicious and approachable today, but it would be a shame not to be able to follow this wine for at least a few years in bottle. Finishes very long, with fine-grained tannins and building sweetness.

Tuscany

Tuscany, a renowned wine region in central Italy, is famous for its high-quality Sangiovese-based wines. Key styles include Chianti, with vibrant acidity and red fruit flavours; Chianti Classico, known for greater depth; and Brunello di Montalcino, prized for its rich, full-bodied character and ageing potential. Tuscany also produces prestigious Super Tuscan wines that blend Sangiovese with international varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon. Top producers are Antinori, for Tignanello; Castello di Ama, for Chianti Classico; and Biondi-Santi, for Brunello.
