Panizzi 2003 Riserva (Vernaccia di San Gimignano)

Country: Italy / Riserva
Variety: Vernaccia Tuscany
Winery: Panizzi / Vernaccia di San Gimignano

Noticeable oak-driven notes of toasted nuts take center stage and are embellished by delicate tones of stone fruit, chestnut honey and yellow flower. The oak notes are strong, though, and take away from the natural fruit. Make sure to drink very cool, otherwise the oak and high alcohol mask everything else.
