2006 Azienda Agricola Montevertine Toscana IGT - Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT (4/13/2012)
Great stuff, and definitely one of the most unique Sangiovese based wines I know. Although this is a blend of mostly Sangiovese with Canaiolo and Colorino, the weight of this wine is reminiscent of a Burgundy or Barbaresco. There’s definitely ample power in this wine despite its lithe texture and weight. Red cherry and raspberry fruit, licorice, and plenty of dried herbs are a the main aromas and flavors in this wine. I have no experience cellaring this, but I loved it right now. Food-wise, I believe this is best paired with fowl, pork, or even beef. Pizza, pasta, and other Italian staples would overwhelm the finesse in this wine, I think.
