2001 Testamatta
Opzioni di acquisto
Note di degustazione
2001 is powerful and concentrated, even more so than the 2000 (the colour remains amost inky at 21 years old), reflective of a hot and dry summer, and winemaking techniques that involved low yields, bleeding off juice in the cellar for greater concentration, and liberal oak. It was generous and impressive in its early years (winning Best Red Wine in the World at a wine trade show) and it retains structure and power, laden with liquorice, chocolate block and attractive black cherry fruit, but the tannin quality is harsher than the 2000, and you feel the hand of the winemaker over the location. Consultant Alberto Antonini.

The 2001 Testamatta, a blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, and Colorino, is a very full and firm ruby, and its expansive nose of red currant and plum fruit, underbrush, Mediterranean herbs, and sweet oak, is matched by rich, round flavors of ripe red fruit, vanilla, and seared oak. Already quite approachable, it has the stuffing to last for another decade and a half. Importer: Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300
