Volpaia 2012 Balifico Red (Toscana)

Country: Italy / Balifico
Variety: Red Blend Tuscany
Winery: Volpaia / Toscana

Made from 65% Sangiovese and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon—organically farmed—this polished red opens with aromas of black-skinned fruit, violet and Mediterranean herb. On the full-bodied palate, tobacco and aniseed accent a core of ripe black cherry, while firm tannins provide support.
