Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Aug 13
The 2010 Avvoltore is magnificent in 2010. Layers of blue and black fruit, smoke, tobacco, licorice and incense seem to jump from the glass in a full-bodied, racy Avvoltore that hits all the right notes. Intense and opulent yet backed up with considerable structure, the 2010 is simply dazzling at this stage. The blend is 75% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Syrah.

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.
