Sangiovese `I Colombi` Toscana IGT
This 100% Sangiovese could actually qualify as a Chianti Classico as all of the fruit is from vineyards within the zone. The owner, Alessandro Francois, prefers to declassify the fruit into this I.G.T as it comes from the youngest vines on the estate and while it may not be a vin de garde, it drinks beautifully in its first few years. The combination of fresh dark cherry fruit and creamy vanilla (from the 12 months spent in oak) is superbly balanced, resulting in a wine that punches well above its weight.
