Visiting Rome and Tuscany; 6/18/2019-7/2/2019 (Lazio and Tuscany, Italy): This young wine, 100% Cesanese, sports a deep-to-opaque crimson robe. Packed with dark bramble fruits, blueberries, smoke, violets and juniper, it is a full-bodied, freshly acidic red with silky tannins and nicely integrated alcohol (listed as 14%). Dense on the mid-palate, it goes on to close with a medium-length, smoky finish. I would favor drinking this over the next 3-4 years, as the beauty is in the wine's youthful ripe fruit. Drink now-2023.
