Antinori Il Bruciato 13.5% 0.75L
The wine's bouquet reveals intense aromas of red berry fruit of excellent expressiveness and focus which are followed by lovely notes of sweet spices. On the palate, this dry red wine is balanced and harmonious and of exceptional overall drinking pleasure. This spirit is produced from the grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. They are grown in Tuscany – a region in central Italy. The early months of 2012 were rather cold and were marked by significant snowfall in February, something somewhat unusual for the Tuscan coast. Late spring and early summer were very warm and dry, leading to berries of small dimension and limited production per vine. This led to a 20% drop in production. Nevertheless all these facts the overall quality was unexpectedly higher than it was expected from a torrid vintage – excellent fruit, a bracing acidity, and, above all, high quality tannins. Bolgheri winery only approved that can be give excellent wine despite the weather.
