Tenute Folonari Spalletti Palazzo Al Campo Sangiovese - Merlot Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy 2011

Description

The 2011 Tenute Folonari Spalletti Palazzo Al Campo Toscana IGT, a Sangiovese–Merlot blend, is a mature, polished Tuscan red showing the warmth and generosity of the vintage. Aromas of dried cherry and plum lead into notes of leather, tobacco, cedar, and sweet spice, with a subtle balsamic undertone that speaks to its age.

On the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, with softened tannins and a smooth, integrated texture. The Sangiovese brings acidity and savory lift, while Merlot adds roundness and depth. The finish is warm, earthy, and resolved, making this a well-evolved, dinner-friendly wine that is drinking at or near its peak now.
