A charming treat from enologist Franco Bernabei, this Sangiovese-Cabernet Franc and Negretto Longanesi blend is a layered and intense red with green or vegetal notes, leather, licorice and black plum. The tannins are firm yielding a solid sensation in the mouth making this a perfect pairing partner to roasted leg of lamb. Drink now. ——M.L.(2/1/2007)—— 87
