Peperino Rosso 2006, Teruzzi & Puthod, Tuscany, Italy

Very good, well balanced red Peperino. 4/5 While TeruzziePuthod.it site was still down, DiWineTaste.com is commenting it like this: "Peperino shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas that start with hints of black cherry, blackberry and raspberry followed by aromas of blueberry, violet, rose and vanilla."
