Made from 80 per cent sangiovese, with merlot and cabernet grown at Frescobaldi’s Castiglioni estate, this noteworthy, curious rendition is aged in new barrels, which adds unusual vanilla
and clove to the sour cherry, pomegranate
and herbal nuances. Quite full, rounded
and rich, but disjointed with clove and light
tannin on the finish. Vintages. LCBO 33555
