The 2007 Giorgio Primo takes us back to a time when Sangiovese was used in this blend. In fact, the wine has acquired a strongly balsamic character over the years with prominent tones of cola, eucalyptus leaf, flint, tar and camphor ash. You could argue that this wine seems to be aging at a quicker paced compared to the more rock-solid, younger vintages we tasted in this mini vertical (such as 2008 and 2009). The mouthfeel here shows a mid-weight approach with soft and silky tannins. Deciding to take the Sangiovese out was very painful, Giampaolo Motta tells me.
