Tolaini Picconero 2011 750 ml

Rated 93 by Wine Advocate

A blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc, the 2011 Picconero Tenuta Montebello is a distinguished and important wine. I’ve been noticing how well Cabernet Franc performs at this Tuscan estate. You get a good sense of this here (and especially in this vintage). The wine opens to an inky black appearance as you would expect, with fragrant aromas of dried blackberry and candied cherry. Warmer aromas of allspice and sweet clove add more consistency and weight to the overall package. These various attributes find terrific harmony.

Rated 93 by Vinous Media

Tolaini’s 2011 Picconero is once again impressive. Dark, sumptuous and radiant, the 2011 races across the palate with intense dark fruit, mocha, spices, new leather and menthol. Drink this flamboyant Merlot/Cabernet Franc blend over the next handful of years.

Rated 93 by Wine Spectator

Harmonious, complex and just beginning to hit its stride, this red features black cherry, black currant, violet, toast and mineral aromas and flavors that permeate the smooth texture, unfolding in layers to a long, fruit-, mineral- and spice-infused aftertaste. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2028. 1,700 cases made.

Rated 93 by James Suckling

A wine with structure and depth. Very racy and beautiful with lots of currant, berry and chocolate aromas. Full body. Fresh and clean. A blend of 65% merlot and 35% cabernet franc. Drink now or hold.

Winery

Rich, concentrated and muscular, yet wonderfully balanced with big tannins and deep tiers of cherry, plums and wild berries, and nuances of spice, vanilla and licorice. A long flavorful aftertaste echoes with juicy fruit and mouthwatering tannins for minutes afterwards. Sensual and young, this wine promises a long life in the bottle. Note: Some sediment may occur in the bottom of the bottle as the wine is not filtered
