Reviewed July 2024
A lot of spices, dried herbs and hints of cigar box and cedar on the nose, with a deep dark-fruited character. Medium- to full-bodied with ripe, velvety tannins and broad, succulent fruit. Dry and textured at the end, with hints of tobacco and crushed stones. Drink or hold. (AS)

Notes

The "Il Sasso" from Piaggia is a beautifully crafted wine from the historic Carmignano region, where Sangiovese is blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to create a balanced and powerful expression of Tuscany. Piaggia is known for producing elegant and structured wines, and "Il Sasso" is a prime example of the estate’s commitment to quality, blending tradition with modern winemaking techniques. On the nose, the Piaggia "Il Sasso" offers an inviting bouquet of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry, layered with notes of tobacco, cedar, and a hint of chocolate. There are also subtle undertones of spice, leather, and a touch of earthiness that add complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity, delivering flavors of dark red fruit, cranberry, and dried herbs, balanced by savory notes of graphite, anise, and balsamic. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering notes of spice and mineral.
