Le Volte 2009
Tuscany, ItalyThe 09 saw the merlot ripen early while the cabernet sauvignon and sangiovese hung longer delayed by September rains. The nose is classic super Tuscan with a savoury earthy black olive, black cherry aroma flecked with meaty, floral notes. The palate is suave and supple with light tannins. More black fruit and earthy cassis and peppery, black olive, orange peel, dried herb flavours mark the palate and finish. Balanced yet with intensity it is the perfect wine for steak Florentine.Tasted: 21 January 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
