We opened the bottle 1hour before tasting: silky tannins, red fruits, minerality. I wish I had one (or two) more bottles. It was the best in a row (we started drinking the 2011 in 2018 and had one bottle each year). (285 views) | | | Tasted by Moroo on 10/24/2022 & rated 89 points: 22.8에 시음하였고 시음적기의

재구매의사 있음 (809 views) | | | Tasted by Moroo on 10/24/2022 & rated 89 points: Good (847 views) | | | Tasted by Rune Schwartz on 3/13/2021 & rated 88 points: Mature red and dark fruits with some spices and sweetness. Medium body but the concentration of the fruit is to low which goes as well for the tannins. The structure is kind of missing. I’m afraid the wine was on top a few years ago. (1713 views) | | | Tasted by kim@meko.ru on 10/23/2020 & rated 91 points: This bottle was a little tight at the beginning but with little air opened up nicely. Ripe cherries, blackberries and black currants, chocolate, thyme, some pepper. Silky tannins. Probably at its peak, drink now. (1792 views) | | | Tasted by Lars1974 on 6/20/2020 & rated 90 points: This one is very good right now. Will hold for another couple of years but why wait?
Ripe cherries, dark chocolate, paprika, lapsang tea, vanilla and tobacco. Nice acidity and decent tannins.
Will sit perfect with this summers barbeque!
Good value! (1730 views) | | | Tasted by kim@meko.ru on 4/29/2020 & rated 92 points: Totally agree with previous note. Very juicy, ripe cherries, pepper, savory notes. Rich and rounded, in good shape right now. (1410 views) | | | Tasted by Lyubomir Lefterov on 4/4/2018 & rated 92 points: Well executed blend of Syrah, Cabernet Franc & Merlot, with grapes coming from both Marrema and Greve in Chianti.
Fragrant, peppery, dark berries, roasted green pepper, polished tannins juicy and savory, pure and balanced, lovely for drinking now (1958 views) |

Producer Location - Chianti Classico (Google Maps)
Producer Location - Maremma (Google Maps)SuperTuscan BlendSuperTuscan Blend refers to wines which feature a significant Sangiovese component combined with grapes not traditionally associated with Italy like Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. This separates it from "Sangiovese blend" which is used for wines which are predominantly Sangiovese and combined with traditional Italian varieties. There is often confusion as many wines most famous associated with the term "Super Tuscan" like Sassicaia, Masseto and Ornellaia have no Sangiovese and are properly linked to 'Red Bordeaux Blend.'
In fact, Super Tuscan was a term coined to refer specifically to wines such as Sassicaia and Tignanello. These were wines that "fell out" of the official DOCG classification of Italian wines because they either contained grapes not permitted (international varietals such as cabernet sauvignon or merlot,) were aged differently (I.e. in barrique) or were 100% sangiovese - which was not permitted at the time for Chianti (E.g. Fontodi Flaccianello.) Forced to be classified as simply "Vina di Tavola" these wines nontheless quickly found favour in international markets and comanded prices above the highest quality DOCG Chianti Classico & Brunello di Montalcino wines at the time. The wine industry and press began to refer to these wines as SuperTuscans because of their popularity and quality, but also because of the prices they commanded. Subsequently, the Italian authorities, under the Goria Law 1992, redrew the classifications, and included the category IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) to classify the SuperTuscans.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorTuscany Tuscany (ItalianMade.com) | TuscanytToscana IGTHere is the Wikipedia entry for Toscana wine. |
