Actually, is 100% Merlot and is fabulous. One of best I've had and would not have readily thought it would be from Tuscany for this varietal. (2,000 bottles made)

2008 in 2017. Says Tuscan blend but is 100% merlot. Stunning! The fruit explodes from the glass.

Hints of cocoa powder, rich stewed red fruit, lavender in a mountain valley, changes constantly, so evocative.
Generous fruit and a small front of tannin, a razor like profile with a burst of brightness at the end. Finishes long, a gentle persistent grip. Drop dead gorgeous.

Querciabella's answer to Masseto. An inspiring Merlot. Age worthy and worth seeking out

Musty. I enjoyed it. But I think it had more age than I expected

Very mature, may be in decline, but still delicious. Dry prunes, sticky dates, toasted oak, smoke and spices. Full bodied, tobacco finish and good nervous acidity.
