1990 Badia a Coltibuono Sangioveto

This is a mind-blowing, big wine for being an older vintage Sangiovese ... smoky black cherry with a complex, multi-dimensional finish and perfectly balanced acidity. Dense, dark ruby color with balsamic floral nose.  Fruit is harvested from the oldest estate vineyards planted in the late 1940's and early 1950's. Produced only in better vintages ...
