Donatella Cinelli Colombini Leone Rosso Orcia 2016

Orcia, Tuscany, ItalyDOC Orcia is produced in 13 municipalities between Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. This is 60/40 sangiovese/merlot from the historic estate, built by Donatella Cinelli Colombini's ancestors in 1592. Six months in tonneaux has provided the structure housing this chewy, savoury wine, flooded with black cherry, dark raspberry, anise, smoked stones, and peppery baking spice. Tannins are ample and sticky, holding this in through the salted black liquorice finish. Drinking well now, with roasted lamb.Tasted: 29 March 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
