Toscolo Chianti 2012
Tuscany, ItalyJust knocked out by the quality and breed of this wine for the price. Famed Tuscan oenologist Franco Bernabei works with owner Neil Empson to make a delicious, elegant style sangiovese that sings Chianti. The nose is fresh and inviting and both clean and yet complex with red fruit scents. The attack is dry and round with fine ripeness and acidity underlying its spicy, cherry fruit flavours. Crazy value here and I'm not sure this wine won't improve in bottle for another three years. Pasta and mushrooms is the perfect match.Tasted: 27 September 2013Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $20.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Christopher Stewart |
