Frescobaldi Tenuta di Castiglioni 2004

Tuscany, ItalyTenuta di Castiglioni is the oldest Frescobaldi Estate, with roots that date back to 1032. The altitude of the 115-hectare vineyard is 200 meters; the blend of grapes is 45 per cent sangiovese, 45 per cent cabernet sauvignon and 10 per cent merlot and petit verdot. The wine is exceedingly rich and well structured with fruity jammy chocolate overtures and plenty of finesse. A terrific bottle and certainly a bargain in Ontario.Tasted: 21 September 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
