Frescobaldi, Toscana IGT (Tuscany, Italy) 2008

Mar 16, 2011

By Michael Apstein

 There is no better guarantee of quality than the Frescobaldi name on a bottle.  One of Tuscany’s grand winemaking families, Frescobaldi produces a stunningly consistent array of wines.  Even this “low end” blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, is balanced and delivers a engaging combination of ripe fruit and savory elements.  The tannins are supple and fine, which means it’s easy to recommend for current consumption with a pasta and meat sauce.
