Fassati 1999 Salarco Riserva Sangiovese (Vino Nobile di Montepulciano)

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.
