The single-vineyard 2006 Ciliegiolo San Lorenzo is darker, richer and deeper than the regular Ciliegiolo bottling. Two years in French oak confer an additional measure of structure and volume as well, but without completely masking varietal character. Hints of tobacco, mint, smoke, leather and licorice add complexity on the close. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2016.
