San Fabiano Calcinaia 2004 Cerviolo Red (Toscana)

Country: Italy / Cerviolo
Variety: Red Blend Tuscany
Winery: San Fabiano Calcinaia / Toscana

Cerviolo is a blend that builds in intensity on the palate, offering excellent extraction and a distinctive mix of Christmas spice followed by dry flowers and red fruit. This wine has loads of personality, jackhammer tannins and natural licorice and spice nuances on the finish. But those tannins definitely need more time to relax, so drink after 2012.
