This is the “reserve”-style wine on an ancient estate, a blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and labeled with the full name of the winery (a secondary wine is simply known as Fonterutoli). The Cabernet gives the wine a deep color and some extra muscle without being intrusive, while oak-aging firms it up for the long haul. A wine to put aside for 3-5 more years to enjoy at its best.
