95 Point Tuscan

In stock at Rock Hill, Forsyth and online



2011 Sette Ponti Crognolo Toscana...$27.99
Impressive aromas of blackberries, currants and flowers follow to a full body with super fine tannins and a long, long finish. Super classy. Best ever Crognolo. Always great value. 90% sangiovese and 10% merlot. Better in 2016.
Rated 95/100 James Suckling
