Crognolo 2004
Item Number: SR304
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
Crognolo 2004 is a blend of sangiovese (90 percent) and merlot from vines averaging 25 to 35 years of age, this is closed at first. Grape skin tannins allow little flavor to escape until they've taken on plenty of air. First they yield a dark green spice, scents of lavender building until the undertones of the wine open up in to meadow flowers and herbs. As hard as the tannins remain, the texture is smooth, the aromas fascinating.
Wine Tasting Notes:
- The blend of Sangiovese and Merlot from vines of an average age of 25 to 35 years yields a refined, elegantly stylish wine of fruit forward lushness.
- The wine's dense color suggests a concentration confirmed on the palate along with sweet ripe flavors of wild cherries, black fruit, leather and vanilla also evident in the aromas.
- The wine is firmly structured yet elegant, with good tannic support and well-integrated oak notes, leaving an overall impression of harmony, balance and length.
