My personal favorite here is the 2000 Vignamaggio, from old Cabernet Franc vines planted in the 1950’s and a wine of striking personality in 1990 and 1991. Ruby/purple, its peppery, cassis-laced nose, silky texture on the palate, and continuity of flow are most attractive. Drink: now-2014.Importer: Bedford International, Larchmont, NY; tel.
