I Sodi ‘Vigna Farsina’ Toscana IGT 2011

Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy

Purchased by their father, Ivo, the winery is currently owned and operated by the three Casini brothers; Danilo, Franco and Giancarlo. The land sits in the heart of Tuscany in the historical town, Gaiole. The Cassini brothers are Chianti; classic, sturdy and getting better every year. They and their wines are indistinguishable.

Tasting Notes:

The ‘Super Tuscan’ Vigna Farsina exclusively in the best years for its production, made only with Sangiovese from a restricted part of the oldest ‘Farsina’ vineyard. The wine opens with nice aromas of black plum, vanilla and toast. The palate is concentrated and gives loads of black cherry jam, cedar and tobacco, integrated well with assertive tannin.
