The 2006 Tane is a blend of 85% Nero d'Avola and 15% Syrah. The Syrah sees a brief 'ripasso' over the skins and juice of the Nero d'Avola, a technique borrowed from Veneto. The wine is then aged in new oak for 12 months. This is a big departure from the other wines in the lineup, and unfortunately not in the right direction. It is hard to understand why the estate goes to such an effort to produce a wine like this when they clearly have first-class fruit that has the character to speak quite eloquently with far less makeup. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. This is a superb set of wines from Valle dell'Acate. Not only are the wines delicious, the best bottles deliver incredible value as well. The estate uses only their best hillside plots for the Valle dell'Acate label, while the vineyards in the plains are used for the entry-level Case Ibidini range.Importer: Polaner Selections, Mt.
