Pianirossi Solus
Maremma Toscana IGT SuperTuscan Blend
Deep bright ruby color that just started to change on the edge, delicious on the outlook. This entry-level Super-Toscany needs more time to reveal itself. It is a blend of Sangiovese, montepulciano and alicante. Bottle decantation for 3-4 hours, it displayed a rather pronounced bouquet of fruit aromas along with oak evolved with notes of spices, tobacco, pencil lead and a hint of perhaps animal fur. High acidity and full-bodied with ripe and a good amount tannin. Preserved plum,tobacco and wet leaves are captured on the palate. Lingers reasonably long, medium+ length. Drink now or the following year. 87 points. Tasted in Beijing
