The 2008 is the first vintage I have tasted of the estate’s Perenzo, a 100% Syrah. Sweet dark blueberries, blackberries, menthol, pine and flowers meld together in this mid-weight Syrah. Although a touch lithe through the mid-palate, the Perenzo compensates with a beautifully articulated, long finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020. Importer: Opici Wines , www.opiciwines.com

A dense and rich young red, with chocolate and berry aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, featuring a solid core of fruit and ripe tannins. Best after 2012. 500 cases made, 85 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Maremma Toscana Select to Add
