The 2000 Vermiglio, a dark garnet with a lighter rim, shows off a mineral and herbaceous nose with a slightly sweetish edge; silky on the palate with some volume and a medium body. Its freshness and light tannins on the finish give it some additional length. Drink: 2004-2007. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
