2006 Toscana Sangiovese, Soldera Case Basse, Italy

A legendary wine from Montalcino's greatest producer, the 2006 Sangiovese (labelled as IGT as they had left the Brunello consorzio) is enticingly perfumed. The silky texture and dark sweet fruit hide the framework of strong (but fine) tannins and fresh acidity lifts the wine.
