Restaurant week at Officina and a perfect wine for our three course meal. Thank you Natalie for the recommendation. Deep ruby red in appearance. Took some time to open up on the nose but showed layers of mocha, floral, touch of minerals, blue and black fruits and spices. Medium tannins (5.5/10) with balanced acidity and a medium plus body. Plush Merlot definitely comes through in the mid palate with black currants, black cherries, chocolate, espresso and a touch of earthiness. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2023.

Crazy good wine for only $60.00 on a wine list. Made up of 50% Sangiovese with the remainder made up of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, making this a true Super Tuscan Blend. All the Sangiovese is aged in stainless steel while the rest are aged in barriques. This wine is from an area in the southern part of Tuscany called Maremma, more specifically Upper Maremma in the Colline Metallifare zone. Need to find some more of this IGT. Label is designed by Raffaele De Rosa.

Mezzo punto di premio in più se li merita tutto per la grande eleganza generale e per la magnifica fattezze dei suoi tannini senza dilungarsi troppo sulle caratteristiche varietali ben presenti e evidenti. Bevuto anche la 2015 appena svinato e il colore da solo pagava la visita — 9 years ago

Plum, Bing cherry, fig jam, and toffee on the lightly smoky nose. Full body. Silky texture. Soft tannins. Long candied finish.
Delicious and drinking well at such young age. — 2 years ago
