The 2001 Gratius, 100% Sangiovese sourced from the estate’s best plots, is a full-bodied effort packed with super-ripe black fruit, herbs and toasted oak. Though it offers excellent length, it also shows the coarse, astringent tannins that are found in the estate’s other wines. Bottle age will help to a limited extent. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2018.Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel. (212) 279-0799
