Sangioveto IGT Fabrizio Bianchi 1999 Castello di Monsanto

Fabrizio Bianchi is a Sangiovese IGT from Castello di Monsanto, from the Scanni vineyard on Cretaceous soil rich in galestro at 300 metres above sea level. It is vinified in steel and aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. Described as one of the most elegant Sangiovese wines in Italy, with discreet, fine aromas and a defined, austere yet lively style, it has good ageing potential. Light ruby and crepuscular in colour, it shows Mediterranean, earthy, pepper and rose notes on the nose, with present, lively tannin, freshness and marked savouriness on the palate. It suits braised red meat, important earthy main courses and pecorino di fossa. Presented in a box.
