Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jul 12
Medium red. Expressive aromas of raspberry, strawberry, flowers, spices and smoky minerality. Dense, fleshy and concentrated, conveying a strong impression of salty extract along with excellent energy for the year. Deep and seamless wine with a very long finish featuring suave tannins and late notes of cinnamon spice and underbrush.

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.
