The 1994 Salamartano Rosso Vino da Tavola is a 50% Cabernet Sauvignon/50% Merlot blend aged completely in French oak casks. Although this tightly-knit wine requires 2-3 more years of cellaring, it should turn out to be at least excellent. It exhibits an opaque ruby/purple color, high acidity, medium to full body, excellent concentration and purity, and a spicy, vanillin-flavored finish. It should last for 12-15 years - an ager.Located 25 miles from Florence, this winery has been producing wines for nearly a century.A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel.
