Casa di Terra 2011 Mosaico (Bolgheri)

Country: Italy / Mosaico
Variety: Red Blend Tuscany
Winery: Casa di Terra / Bolgheri

Made from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this dense wine features aromas of black plum, bell pepper, cedar, mocha and toasted oak. The palate is driven by very evident oak, chocolate, vanilla and concentrated, almost sugary, blackberry. The sweetness is broken up by an astringent, drying note of wood tannins.
