Fornacelle 2008 Zizzolo (Bolgheri)

Country: Italy / Zizzolo
Variety: Red Blend Tuscany
Winery: Fornacelle / Bolgheri

This oaky blend of Merlot (60%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (40%) sees 10 months of barrique for extra intense notes of spice, cinnamon, clove and general woodshop. There is black fruit, cola and blackberry pie as well, but the wine needs a few more years of aging to find balance.
