Country: Italy / Basilica del Pruneto
Variety: Merlot Tuscany
Winery: Cafaggio / Toscana
This full-bodied Merlot opens with aromas that recall cedar, licorice, mature plum and blackberry that follow through to the robust palate, alongside cracked peppercorn, clove and tobacco. Firm but velvety tannins provide the framework. Drink through 2018.
