Taste
Crushed herb and dry spice, Vibrant red fruits
Aroma
Herbal, Raspberry and wild cherry
Description
From the Tuscany wine region of Italy comes this amazing wine, made from Sangiovese grapes with a splash of Carignano. ‘Estatatura’ was the name given to the summer migration of people from the city of Grosseto to the hills of Scansano in seek of ‘fresh air’. Tuscany’s fresh air and great terroir make for quality grape growing too. Add to that 14 months ageing in oak barrels, and you have a ruby red wine that’s rich, layered, and highly complex. There are classic Tuscan aromas of wild cherries, blackberries, and raspberries and even a hint of herbs on the palate. The flavours are soft and pretty, and the wine has fine tannins and an excellent structure.
- Gold Medal, Sommelier Wine Awards 2016, ‘Complexity and a memorable finish helped Barone Pizzini strike Gold. Andrés Ituarte of Avenue Restaurant found this wine “fantastic value”, noting: “Massive tannins, dark cherry and plum with a good dose of zippy acidity.” “Sour red cherries, spices, plus a touch of leather, this is fresh and creamy, with hints of mint chocolate. Outstanding,” said Rossano Antonelli of Hawksmoor Air Street.‘ (2010 vintage)

I’ve been drinking this for a few years, and this is the best vintage yet. This will definitely age well – if I can resist the rest of the case!

Moreish! Best on the same day but still fantastic the next day.
