Geografico Ferraiolo 2003
Our latest arrival from our exclusive agency of Geografico. This is their Super Tuscan made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese and aged in barriques for 10 months as for the tradition of Super Tuscans. Dark brick colour with an outstanding perfume of dry fruits, smoke, leather and black truffle. The wine is expressive, full bodied and very clean. The 2003 vintage was a very hot vintage and has produced outstanding Tuscany wines but in particular those that the blend include Cabernet Sauvignon. For a wine of $40 it would be good competition for others at $70+. A little on the young side at the moment but because of its racy acidity, concentration, great structure and especially its total balance, it will also cellar for another 5 years plus.
