This Super-Tuscan blend is still holding its own. Excellent depth and well integrated tannin, acid, and dark fruits. I'd guess that sangiovese is the dominant grape in this blend, with some merlot in the mix as well. Well balanced combination of old and new world characteristics.

Deep, dense, dark red core, narrow garnet rim. Clean with dark fruits, ripe cherries, violets, earth and subtle oak. Savoury and minerally, with bracing acidity, highish level of smooth tannins, moderate alcohol (13.5%). Intense and persistent, full bodied, oak nicely integrated. Very long, complex, rich. Perfect match for winter dish of polenta and spuntatura.

13,4%. Sangiovese and Merlot. Needs decanting. Nose is warm, spicy, red dried cherries and spice. Palate is evolved, style reminds of traditional Rioja, rustic tannins. Tasted at Selezione Toscana tasting in Florence
