A Fantastic Super Tuscan
My husband is a huge fan of Italian wines, so it was no surprise that I came home to find him pouring a bottle of red from Tuscany yesterday.
Marchesi Torrigiani - Torre Di Ciardo (2006) $16: This Estate Bottled wine comes from the Tuscany region of Italy. It can be called a "Super Tuscan" because the informing, or main grape in the wine is a Sangiovese, (75%). The other two grapes in this wine are Canaiolo and Merlot. It has a beautiful dark red color to it, and an earthy and berry bouquet. It tastes of spice and blackberries, with a hint of vanilla. It does have soft tannins, but the finish is smooth.
