Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 00
Good full red-ruby color. Aromatic nose of plum, currant, minerals and cedar, plus a suggestion of cigar box. Silky, thick and very concentrated; exhilarating fruit is supported by sexy oak spice and nicely embedded acids. Impressively long finish features lush, sweet tannins.

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.
