Tasting Notes

Vinous Ian d'Agata - 01 Jul 07
Deep ruby. Profound nose redolent of smoky ripe red and black plum, enlivened by hints of mint and blackberry liqueur. Rich, fleshy flavors of ripe red cherry, black plum and milk chocolate are nicely framed by fine acids. This extremely suave wine boasts very silky tannins and a long finish. One of the better, more refined cabernet sauvignons made in Italy.

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.
