The Wine
There was much excitement about the 2015 Tuscan vintage thanks to a July heatwave and modest temperatures the rest of the year. It’s reflected in the lovely richness and depth of this wine, made for us by Franco Bernabei. Franco is a gregarious Italian known to his fellow countrymen as ‘Mr Sangiovese’ – his speciality grape. Indeed, Franco has a host of awards including ‘Italian Winemaker of the Year’. Only estate grown fruit is used in the wines of Lornano, a property owned by the Taddei family since 1904 and located on the hills of Castellina not far from Siena. After fermentation, the wine was aged in French oak barrels for six months to lend gentle complexity. Decant and serve with white meat dishes, wood-fired pizza or beef carpaccio.
