Note di degustazione
The 2004 Piantonaia is made in a over-ripe, full-bodied style. It offers notable intensity and a sweet, layered personality at the outset, but then trails off on the mid-palate. Piantonaia is hillside Merlot aged in 100% new French oak.

The 2004 Piantonaia is made in an over-ripe, full-bodied style. It offers notable intensity and a sweet, layered personality at the outset, but then trails off on the mid-palate. Piantonaia is hillside Merlot aged in 100% new French oak. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. Father and son team Jurij and Vittorio Fiore make wines of much distinction at their small winery. The property is located in the hills of Greve, right next to neighbors Querciabella. Their top wine is Il Carbonaione, a 100% Sangiovese (from the Lamole clone) aged predominantly in small French oak barrels which has a track record of aging very well, even in smaller vintages. A forthcoming article in the Italy Report section of www.erobertparker.com will explore past vintages of Il Carbonaione in more detail. A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel.
