Toscolo Chianti 2005
Tuscany, ItalyAnother Neil Empson selection from the Pisa region, Toscolo is Renaissance word for 'Tuscan boy'. The fruit grows from 250 to 450 metres and give the wine a richness and plush-ness in the mouth that can surprise. Still it has the Empson Bernabei palate - fragrant, elegant cran-cherry fruit with a dusting of earth and leather. A workhorse Monday to Friday red best with meat dishes.Tasted: 12 December 2007Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $16.99 | 750ml | speculative listing - Christopher Stewart |
