A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc,“Lagone” is made with grapes grown near Bolgheri in western Tuscany. Supple yet powerfully concentrated, it impresses because, though made in an international style, it tastes legitimately Tuscan, with dusty spice adding interest and intrigue. Though certainly ready to drink now, this 2009 also shows the stuffing to suggest that it has a long life in front of it.
