Cinciano Pietra Forte Rosso Toscana IGT, 2020

A Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese blend, all three vinified separately and blended after ageing for 12 months in barriques and large vats. A deep purple, opaque robe in the glass. On the nose, it shows medium-intensity aromas of typical Tuscan elements: chestnut and sealing wax along with shoe polish, tar/smoke/cold ashes and prune spread. It is dry on the palate with a medium acidity, medium-plus components like the extract, the fine-textured tannins, the body, the length and the persistence of the poached plum, char, nuts/chestnut, and chicory root, as well as a medium-plus finish. 2024-2030–IR
