The estate’s 2003 Manero 100% Prugnolo Gentile (Sangiovese) spent 12 months in French oak. It is a bold, vibrant wine loaded with dark cherries, licorice, earthiness and toasted oak. Despite the warmth of the vintage, the wine retains superb freshness and fine overall balance, with remarkably finessed tannins. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2018.
This a gorgeous set of wines from Fattoria del Cerro and oenologist Lorenzo Landi.
