Il Molino di Grace Gratius 2011
Tuscany, ItalyGratius is an IGT Toscana red blending mostly sangiovese, canaiolo, and colorino, grown at 580 metres. The vineyard (average age 65 years) was picked by hand in mid-October, and the grapes were macerated for 20 days producing only 22 hl/ha before ageing in French oak barriques for a year, followed by 24 months in bottle. The nose is a mix of gamey black fruit with a whiff of volatility. The attack is plentiful if not a bit blocky, with a vast collection of black cherry, chocolate, earth, and cedar. A little bit old in style but overall an exciting wine you can sip all evening, before, during, and after a steak dinner. Impressive for its age, and there is still life ahead.Tasted: 21 February 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $99.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
