The complex 2000 Muraccio is a superb value. A blend of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Merlot, it was aged in used oak for 10 months prior to bottling. Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by sweet aromas of black cherries, cola, chocolate, and a hint of wood. Layered, with excellent purity as well as length, elegance, and overall harmony, it will drink well over the next 5-6 years. A Leonardo Locascio Selection, Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
