Tasting notes
This is a spectacular wine that represents a unique blend of 70% Petit Verdot and 30% Cesanese d'Affile. Andrea Franchetti's namesake 2014 Franchetti is a darkly saturated and generously exuberant wine. The wine's appearance is marked by an inky dark, almost impenetrable appearance. The bouquet is overtly opulent and rich with bold fruit tones followed by spice, leather and crushed granite stone. This is a very special wine that is full of personality and generosity. Only 3,000 bottles were produced. Aug 2017, www.robertparker.com
