Description
In a nutshell:
A savoury, spicy and nicely mature Tuscan red blend.
The lowdown:
A blend of around two thirds Sangiovese and one third Cabernet Sauvignon from thirty year old vines it's aged in oak barrels for around 20 months before bottling. This is one of Castello di Querceto's top wines and it's not hard to see why. It's now nicely mature and has some quite developed, almost meaty aromas and a rich, full bodied palate with some warm spiciness underlying the full, fruit character. As you'd expect the tannins are quite big, but very well integrated.
When to drink:
At the top of it's game right now it's great for immediate drinking and will be ideal with slow cooked red meats, roast game, or mature cheeses.
