Natalie's Score: 94/100

Bertinga Sassi Chiusi 2017 is an elegant, fine-boned and zesty estate blend of 85% Sangiovese with the balance in Merlot with grapes sourced from the winery's Adine, Bertinga and Vertine vineyards. The Sangiovese was vinified and aged in concrete tank while the Merlot was vinified in stainless steel tank and matured in neutral French oak barrels for 12 months. The wine also spent four years in bottle prior to its release. An elegant and lithe Tuscan red showing a mouthful of fresh black and red fruits, menthol and spicy notes with a long and luxurious dark berry finish. Enjoy it now through the end of the decade.
