Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Apr 18
The 2015 Baffonero, the estate's 100% Merlot, is classy and polished from start to finish. Chocolate, plum and leather appear first, followed by beautifully lifted scents of star anise, white chocolate, orange peel and spice. Stylistically, the 2015 is quite a bit more restrained than most prior vintages. It will be interesting to see if that is reflection of the year or representative of where the wine will goi in coming vintages.

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.
