Tuscan warmth shines through the 2006 Corbaia, adding considerable depth and richness to dark cherries, plums, rosemary, dried herbs and flowers. The fruit is backed up with plenty of structure and acidity as this 70% Cabernet Sauvignon/30% Sangiovese blend opens up in the glass. The Corbaia is another stunningly beautiful bottle from Castello di Bossi. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2026.
Readers would do well to check out these new wines from Castello di Bossi, which are easily some of the most exciting reds made in Tuscany in 2006.
