Fassati 1999 Salarco Riserva Sangiovese (Vino Nobile di Montepulciano)
- $50
Nice concentration and color reinforces aromas of dried currant berry, fruit preserves, tar, resin and exotic spice. The wine is extremely ripe and succulent and delivers notes of toasted oak throughout. Good acidity fuels a long, rich finish. Pair with game meats or stews and don’t wait any longer to drink.

Here’s an austere and sophisticated wine with smoky overtones and nicely aged tones of dried berries and exotic spice. The wine tastes full and generous on the palate and benefits from tight, slightly textured tannins that make it appropriate for most meat dishes.

Good concentration and red fruit aromas set the tone and are embellished by background notes of vanilla and cedar. Drying tannins characterize the mouthfeel but the wine also has a pointed vein of tartness that hits the mid-palate. Tiny percentages of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are added.
