Inky color still, with a jammy and smoky nose showing licorice and vanilla aromas. Full-bodied, with loads of fruit and velvety tannins, it still seems structured, closed and tight. Needs many more years in the bottle. Even better than I originally thought. This is fantastic and shows all the power and class you expect.--Masseto non-blind vertical. Best after 2006. 2,500 cases made.

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The heartland of Sangiovese, producing Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced 'Super Tuscans' of the coast. Its wines balance bright acidity, savory structure and cellar-worthiness.
