TUSCANY, ITALY

99 points James Suckling and Top 10 of Top 100 Wines of Italy, James Suckling

Notes from the winemaker: Deep ruby red with violet reflections. The bouquet on the nose reveals clear scents of blueberry, blackberry, chocolate and black tea, whereas pleasant hints of dark chocolate, black tea, vanilla and coffee make their way through with determination. Full bodied on the palate, embracing the whole mouthfeel with elegant and silky tannins, balanced by a pleasant acidity. Great persistence.

Food Pairings: Braised pork cheek, or saddle of lamb.
