Wine Expert Note:

Aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and cassis mingle with notes of lavender and leather in this Volpaia Balifico Toscana IGT. On the palate, the flavors are concentrated and intense, with blackberry, plum, and dark cherry notes backed by a hint of pepper and leather. The tannins are firm but velvety, providing a velvety and smooth finish that lingers on the palate. Enjoy this wine now or cellar for a few years for even more complexity.
