"The 2008 Mix 36 Toscana is a blend of the 36 different Sangiovese clones planted on the property. Layers of ripe red fruit, flowers, spices and licorice caress the palate as this silky, totally refined wine opens up in the glass. The 2008 impresses for its elegant personality and sense of refinement. Although the wine is delicious today, I am curious to see how it develops in bottle, as the fruit is still very primary. This is an impressive showing from Fonterutoli. The Mix 36 spent 18 months in 500 liter barrels . . . . This is a solid set of new releases from the Mazzei family and long-time consulting oenologist Carlo Ferrini." Wine Advocate #201, Jun 2012 |
