Tasting note
Black cherries, licorice, tar, new leather and spices come together in this round yet powerful wine. The 2009 La Forra boasts considerable depth and textural richness. The presence of other red grapes in addition to the Sangiovese, plus the partial aging in French oak barrels gives La Forra an international feel that works quite nicely. This should be quite lovely once the tannins soften a bit. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. Score - 92. (Antonio Galloni, erobertparker.com, June 2012)
This dry and cherry-red coloured red showcases a simple nose releasing woody, spicy, floral and fruity scents. You will be charmed with this medium-bodied wine revealing a broad texture, fleshy tannins and a medium finish.
