D'Isanto & D'Isanto 'I Balzini' Black Label Colli della Toscana Centrale IGT, Tuscany, Italy 2009

Description

Produced by D Isanto and D Isanto in the hills of Colli della Toscana Centrale, the 2009 I Balzini Black Label reflects a warm vintage shaped by ripeness and concentration. Typically centered on Sangiovese with an important role played by Merlot, the wine bridges regional identity with international structure.

The bouquet reveals black cherry, ripe plum, and cassis layered with cedar, tobacco, and dried herbs. With extended bottle age, tertiary tones of leather, earth, and subtle balsamic nuance have emerged. The palate is full bodied and structured, with resolved tannins supporting a dense core of dark fruit while acidity maintains balance.

The finish is persistent and savory, marked by spice and mineral undertones. A mature and composed Tuscan IGT from Italy, showing integration and depth after significant time in bottle.
