Toscolo Chianti 2009
Tuscany, ItalyA Neil Empson selection from the Pisa region, Toscolo is Renaissance word for 'Tuscan boy'. It has that Empson Bernabei palate - fragrant, elegant spicy, prune, peppery, dried cherry, floral aromas. The attack is round, dry and tart with sour cherry, floral, meaty, leather, tobacco, cooked carrot flavours. A more austere style for food.Tasted: 03 October 2011Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $16.99 | 750ml | speculative listing - Christopher Stewart |
