Grifi Toscana IGT 2020 - Avignonesi

Why the winemaker recommends Avignonesi Grifi Toscana IGT 2020

What a pain!! Grifi Toscana IGT a splendid blend with sangiovese and cabernet sauvignon. I would say that this company has a great ability to obtain very successful blends of Sangiovese with other grapes. This wine already offers a silky tannic texture, with a noble structure, a wine of depth. The beautiful fruit and oak make it on the verge of becoming a world-class wine. The dark red fruits make this wine worth seeking out.
