Fornacina

Typischer Toskaner von sattem Rubinrot mit intensiven Aromen von schwarzen Beerenfrüchten. Elegante Struktur, harmonisch im Geschmack mit angenehm sanftem Nachhall. (superiore.de)

Schön ausgewogen und klassisch-würzig der Duft. Auch im Geschmack finden sich die typischen Brombeer- und Weichselaromen. Saftig und mit viel Extraktstoff, voll und umhüllend, ausgestattet mit samtigen Tanninen und viel Ausdauer im Finale. (superiore.de)

"This has pure, dark cherry flavours with intense notes of mineral, heather and anise adding depth. The tannins are fine and powdery, while lively acidity carries the finish. This is an absolute pleasure to drink." Decanter

"Good full red. Smoky aromas of flinty red cherry, violet and licorice. Juicy and gripping in the mouth; piercing but balanced acidity nicely lifts and extends the flinty red fruit flavors on the rising, clean aftertaste. Developed a hint of gaminess with aeration which was not much to my liking, and so I lowered my score slightly." Ian d'Agata

"Aromas of tar, dried cherry and lemon skin. Full body, with tangy acidity and firm tannins. Tight but beautiful. Give it a year or two to open." James Suckling

2012 war ein sehr gutes Jahr in Montalcino und das Konsortium vergab die Höchstbewertung der 5 Sterne. Herrlich offen das Bouquet mit Aromen von Sauerkirschen und dunklen Waldfrüchten, am Gaumen eine feingliedrige Struktur. Kompaktes, bestens eingebundenes Tannin und ein beeindruckender Abgang.

"Simone Bilorsi coaxes gorgeously pure Sangiovese from his organically cultivated vineyards. In years he deems good enough, the Riserva is made exclusively from his holdings in Castelnuovo dell'Abate and aged in Slavonian oak casks. The 2012 is savoury and woody, with nuances of tobacco and fennel lifting ripe cherry fruit. There's plenty of concentration on the palate, though slightly dry tannins need time to resolve. It finishes with lovely florality." Decanter

"Very impressive deep-set dried cherry aromas with a spicy and cedary edge, as well as attractive sweet aged meats and dried flowers. Some peppery nuances, too. The palate has impressive power, draw and cut, The flavors ride deep and long, delivering terrific length." James Suckling
