Today at Madrona Wine Merchants we are tasting the ’05 Basciano il Corto.
90% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon
This bold Tuscan takes a price drop but is still tasting great. Was $22, now just $15.
Pungent dried red berries complicated by rose and an intense cream soda quality on the nose. The cream soda follows through on the palate, joined by ripe red cherry and redcurrant. Finishes persistent and ripely tannic –IWC.
