When my brother went to Tuscany this summer he brought back a few wines which he labelled "To be tasted with Ian" and this was the first of them. He described it to me as being another shot at a "super Tuscan" wine rather in the mould of wines like Tignanello and Ornellaia. Consisting of 85% Merlot and 15% Vitigni a bacca nera It is made in Magliano in Tuscany by the Azienda Agricola Colli di Bacche. Alc 14.5%. Colour very dense almost black. Nose, blackberries and dark chocolate, very powerful and attractive. Mouth huge, with blackberries again - hints of chocolate and coffee. Gentle very ripe tannins, not much acidity. I'd describe this as being an attempt at a "Parker pleaser" lovely on its own, but not really a food wine. We served it with plain grilled lamb chops which were assertive enough to stand up tp the wine, but it didn't really enhance them. I could serve it with a big fruity lamb tagine!!
Overall therefore, a well made wine in an overly assertive style in my view.
