Capezzana Conte Bonacossi GhiaieDella Furba 2006 IGT
The wine is a blend of Cabernet
Sauvignon (60%), Merlot (30%) and Syrah (10%) with alcoholic fermentation
taking place in steel tanks, and malolactic fermentation in french oak it is
then matured for 16 months in barriques and laid down for a further 12 months
in bottles.
A deep ruby colour with a hint of
black had intense savoury aromas of spicy tobacco, black cherry and some red
fruits with overtones of smokiness. On tasting it the fine gripping but ripe
tannins add structure to this medium bodied wine, the black cherry and red
fruit flavours along with the smokey spices are enrobed by the savouriness and
the finish which is long consists of fresh red fruits, the wine feels a touch spirity
- and given time may integrate well, a complex elegant wine especially at the
price of about £32 - buy, buy, buy.
