The 1990 Il Sodaccio (100% Sangioveto) adds a chocolatey note to its rich, intense, black-cherry-scented, medium to full-bodied flavors. It should drink well for 7-12 years.
The 1990s from proprietor Sergio Manetti are the finest I have tasted from this high profile Tuscan producer. All three wines exhibit considerable ripeness, as well as wonderfully layered, textured palates with gobs of ripe black-cherry fruit intertwined with spicy new oak.
