Tasting notes
The 2006 Al Passo is a rich, sensual offering laced with dark wild cherries, tobacco, smoke, leather and licorice, all of which come together in a sumptuous style underpinned by serious acidity and structure. The density of the fruit carries through nicely to the powerful yet beautifully delineated finish. This is a terrific effort from Tolaini. Al Passo is 85% Sangiovese and 15% Merlot.

The 2006 Al Passo is a rich, sensual offering laced with dark wild cherries, tobacco, smoke, leather and licorice, all of which come together in a sumptuous style underpinned by serious acidity and structure. The density of the fruit carries through nicely to the powerful yet beautifully delineated finish. This is a terrific effort from Tolaini. Al Passo is 85% Sangiovese and 15% Merlot. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2021. These are the finest wines I have tasted from Tolaini, a relatively young property located in Castelnuovo Berardenga. For the first time the reliance on predominantly international varieties and the consultancy of Michel Rolland seems to be paying dividends.
