Tasting notes
The 2007 Avvoltore, a blend of 75% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Syrah, is a stunner. All of the elements come together gracefully as this soft, sumptuous wine opens up to reveal multiple layers of fruit, refined tannins and exceptional harmony that all leave lasting impression. Power, weight and intensity are balanced beautifully in a soft, seamless style that is impossible to resist. This is a fabulous vintage of Avvoltore. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2027.
