In 2009 the blend is 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. These are the most impressive wines I have ever tasted from Tenuta di Ghizzano. The wines are made in a fairly non-interventionalist style, starting with organically farmed grapes. For the top wines, the grapes are crushed by foot and fermentations are done in open-top wood and cement vats, using only indigenous yeasts. Importer: Henriot Inc, New York, NY; tel. (212) 605 6706.
