First produced in 1997, this is one of the best vintages made. The Sassotondo 2015 Maremma Toscana Ciliegiolo San Lorenzo offers length and terrific balance, and the wine counts down the entire playlist of what makes this grape so special and interesting. There is bright, punchy fruit, lots of integrated freshness, velvety tannins and plenty of volcanic character with etched stone and campfire ash. This vintage is especially elegant in terms of its smooth texture and careful tannic management.
