Fattoria di Piazzano Colorino Colli della Toscana Centrale IGT, Tuscany, Italy 2009

The 2009 Fattoria di Piazzano Colorino Colli della Toscana Centrale IGT is fully mature and distinctly Tuscan, showing dark plum, dried blackberry, leather, tobacco, and earthy spice with a slightly rustic edge. The palate is medium-bodied and resolved, with softened tannins, savory depth, and Colorino’s naturally firm, structured character mellowed by age. A soulful, old-school wine that’s drinking well now and best enjoyed with hearty food rather than further cellaring.
