Ombrone 2008 on The Wine Advocate



Antonio Galloni gave 92 points to our Ombrone 2008 on Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate. 

Here's what Mr. Galloni writes about our cuvée:

The 2008 San'Antimo Rosso Ombrone is a revelation. A blend of 53 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 % Merlot and 17 % Sangiovese, the wine reveals layers of dark plum, graphite, mineral and herbs, all supported by a firm tannic spine. Menthol, new leather and licorice add complexity on the finish. I am not the biggest fan of internationally styled wines in Montalcino, but the Ombrone is undoubtedly first class. Anticipated maturity: 2014 - 2022.
