Insoglio del Cinghiale 2011

Bolgheri, Tuscany, ItalyInsoglio del Cinghiale is the little brother of the famed Tenuta di Biserno from Maremma. The blend is a mix of syrah, cabernet franc and merlot and like its big brother it is remarkably consistent from year to year. The '11 is a supple red, attractively styled with fabulous texture and weight to support a rich palate of liquorice, spicy black fruit and grilled meat flavours. Some 40 percent of the wine is spends four months in new and second year French oak barrels. The rest remains in stainless steel tanks. A country red with a lot of style.Tasted: 08 April 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
