點擊次數(shù)：3845

The estate’s 2005 Carduni (Petit Verdot) is a big, massive wine bursting with dark jammy fruit, sweet toasted oak, new leather and licorice. The wine’s depth and richness are impressive but it would be nice to see what might emerge without such a heavy reliance on oak. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2015. Baglio di Pianetto is the Sicilian property of the Marzotto family, who are best known for their highly successful lifestyle brands. The vineyards are located in Pachino, in the province of Siracusa, and Santa Cristina Gela, near Palermo. The estate works with both native and international varieties.Importer: Terlato Wines International, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-8900

This is a lovely and sophisticated expression of Petit Verdot from Sicily with elegant graphite and mineral tones that back plum, prune, spice and loads of toasted nut. The wine is aged 16 month in oak, so those spice and smoke tones are also evident on the tasty finish. ——M.L.(3/1/2011)—— 91
