2013 Il Borghetto, Toscana IGP, Monte de Sassi (RT 94) 100% Sangiovese, aged 20 months in barrel, 5,000 bottles produced. With its classic, pale ruby/garnet hue it reveals notes of red cherry, white flowers, hints of new saddle leather and a streak of minerality. The proud mouthfeel is seductive and sappy, revealing a wonderful balance of fruit, acid and super ripe tannin. An exceptional showing of world class Sangiovese, the direction of this winery is moving increasingly toward Burgundy. Very impressive! Drink now-2033+
