Febo Toscana IGT, 2020

This 90% Merlot has a 10% splash of Syrah and is normally aged in a large botti, not small barriques. A deep ruby, opaque core in the glass with a hint of garnet towards the rim. The nose shows medium-intensity lifted aromas of cream, cedar, cassis, roasted tomatillos and grilled bell pepper. Dry, its structure consists of a medium acidity, a medium extract, medium fine-textured tannins and a medium-body wrapped in a lovely length with replays of the fruit, if subtler than on the nose: cream, cedar, cassis, roasted tomatillos, plus ink, tar and dried black olive and closing with a medium finish. 2025-2027–IR
