Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 07 Oct 24
The 2011 D’Alceo is exotic, bold and luscious. It captures the natural richness of the warm, dry growing season, yet possesses magnificent balance. Black cherry, plum, new leather, licorice and spice fill out the layers nicely. The 2011 is in a great spot for drinking today, as it shows some signs of maturity but remains fleshy and vibrant, with compelling inner sweetness and terrific balance. The 2011 was fabulous when it was first released. It is just as compelling today, not to mention a triumph for the year.

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.
