Re di Renieri 2009 IGT Toscana, Renieri |
|
Renieri is an extraordinary property in the southern part of the Montalcino region, owned by the visionary and innovative Marco Bacci. Normally a stronghold for Sangiovese, which grows well here as the high-scoring Renieri Brunellos will attest, but the soils on this property are varied and unique and allow for a wide range of different grapes to show exceptional and unique character as in this Right Bank Bordeaux style blend. 60% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot aged 15 months in Allier French oak barrels. James Suckling recently included it in his list of the Top 100 New Super Tuscans In 2012 along with greats like Sassicaia, Guado Al Tasso, Solaia, Ornellaia, etc. He scored it 95 points and said "Complex yet subtle aromas of licorice, minerals, blueberries and Indian spices. Full body, with super racy tannins and a gorgeous finish. It goes on for minutes. Fantastic red. Better in 2015." Re means King and this "King of Reniri" is a Super Tuscan that holds it's own among the best out there at half the price. Don't Miss it!
