Terre Nere Rosso Di Montalcino Campigli Vallone Pierina 2007, D.O.C., Tuscany, Italy: Vintages Wine Panel: Medium-deep ruby with aromas of chocolate-covered raisins, smoke, saddle leather, ripe strawberry and dried herbs. Dry, round and fairly ripe with velvety mid-palate tannins giving it structure. Medium bodied with a medium-long, crisply fruity finish. My note: Satin smooth and enticing. Juicy with black cherry.
