Fornacelle 2007 Foglio 38 Cabernet Franc (Toscana)
- Online Exclusive
Foglio 38 (a pure expression of Cabernet Franc) offers loads of black fruit intensity and lingering spice. There are green characteristics here of caper, herbs and black olive as well as fruity tones of blackberry and plum. In the mouth, the wine shows firm, gripping tannins that will soften with a few more years in the bottle.

Fornacelle 2007 Zizzolo Red (Bolgheri)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
This focused 60-40 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon offers intense aromas of black pepper, wild berries, leather, moist earth and tobacco leaf. The wine boasts very good density but is not exaggeratedly thick, and there is a very welcome touch of acidity on the close.

Fornacelle 2008 Zizzolo Red (Bolgheri)
- Online Exclusive
This oaky blend of Merlot (60%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (40%) sees 10 months of barrique for extra intense notes of spice, cinnamon, clove and general woodshop. There is black fruit, cola and blackberry pie as well, but the wine needs a few more years of aging to find balance.
