The 2017 Campo di Tenaglia is an absolutely sensational wine from Andrea Franchetti. This stunning 100% Cabernet Franc spent 8-months in new French oak and 11-months in concrete tanks. It opens with seductive and complex aromas of ripe dark currant, blackberry, black cherries along with crushed violets, tobacco, and hints of spices. On the palate this is medium-plus to full-bodied, with remarkable concentration and wonderful depth. The gorgeous opulent mouthfeel gives way to layers of beautifully ripe dark and red fruits, which continue to build on the palate and show tremendous length on the finish. While this is delicious now, I expect it will continue to thrive in the cellar and offer many years of drinking pleasure ahead.
