Il Palagio Casino Delle Vie 2018
Tuscany, ItalyTuscany's Villa Il Palagio has been a vine growing and wine making estate since the 16th century. For the last two decades it's been the summer home of Sting and Trudy Styler, who have transformed the estate into a vibrant organic farm and vineyard. Over that time, they've worked with consultants Alan York and Pedro Parra to design the vineyards and farming practices. This organic, biodynamic blend of 90% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the calcareous clays and sands of the hills of Florence, at 330m. After a stainless ferment, it rested for 1 year in older small French barrels. Dark morello cherry, kirsch, dark cocoa, worn leather, anise floods the sultry palate, laced with perfumed baking spices. Tannins are soft and sticky, guiding this to a saline finish. Drinking smartly now, and with a couple years ahead in cellar easy. For now, pair with roast beef and / or tomato sauced pastas.Tasted: 10 January 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $43.00 | 750ml | consignment |
