Altesino Rosso Toscano 2007

Tuscany, ItalyI was a bit surprised by the approachability of this wine and its delicious factor but I should have known the 80 per cent sangiovese mixed with 20 per cent merlot and cabernet sauvignon sees NO wood. Hmmm, no wood, better fruit, smooth supple tannins and a vibrant earthy woodsy finish packed with fruit. Hard not to like this red that is further supercharged by the excellent 2007 vintage.Tasted: 18 October 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
