The Castello di Querceto 2018 Cignale ("wild boar" in Italian) offers beautiful depth and balance. This is a boldly layered Tuscan red that ages in French oak for 18 months. Sweet baking spice, dark chocolate and blackberry confit emerge from the core of this nicely concentrated red. Aromas of blackberries and licorice with some sage and Tuscan rosemary follow through to a full body with integrated tannins that are polished and creamy. Lovely balance and length.
 
Winemaker Notes
Very floral and beautiful with hints of dark fruit, black currant and dried flowers, such as violets. Full body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh and bright finish. Lots of dried citrus undertones.
