This parcel of wine and spirits was brought to us by a long-time aficionado, who began collecting wine in 1981. His interest in collecting began during his career, where every successful business closure was celebrated with fine wine. His wines and spirits were purchased through the SAQ, LCBO, and US independent retailers, and were stored in his temperature and humidity-controlled home cellar before coming to auction.
Winemaker notes- Castell in Villa Santacroce 1988 is a full-bodied red wine from the Tuscany region of Italy. It is made from a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, and aged for 12 months in oak barrels. The wine has a deep ruby color and aromas of ripe red fruit, spices, and leather. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured, with flavors of blackberry, cherry, and tobacco. The finish is long and lingering, with a hint of spice. This is a great wine to enjoy with grilled meats, pasta dishes, and aged cheeses.
