"The super grape of Italy, this native grape has been the foundation for Tuscan wines for centuries. While it appears as a pure varietal, this grape shines when in blends such as those of Chianti as well as the new ""Super Tuscans"" in which it is blended with New World varietals. It is a powerful wine, creating full bodied wines that have hints of berries, tar, leather, earth, and cigar box. A very masculine wine, it is starting to make huge advances in how it is created and blended, especially with Cabernet Sauvignon. " |
