Juicy dark cherries, tobacco, licorice, spices and incense burst from the 2011 Cesanese del Piglio Colle Ticchio. A fleshy, expressive wine, the 2011 impresses for its balance and sheer personality. Hints of scorched earth and tar add complexity on the finish. This is a truly distinctive wine within its price range. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2017.
