Collazzi
Ferro Toscana IGT – 2020
Region: ITALY - TUSCANY
Collazzi
Villa Collazzi is one of the most impressive estates in all of Tuscany. This architectural landmark was originally designed by Michelangelo in 1560 for his friend, Agostino Dini. It offers commanding views of the surrounding countryside. I Collazzi is a property of the Marchi brothers, Carlo and Bona. During the last decade the Marchi brothers invested heavily in the development of Collazzi’s farming business, renewing the vineyards and restructuring the cellar, with the goal of producing excellent wines. Collazzi produces grapes from this esteemed estate only; a super-Tuscan blend called Collazzi, Chianti Classico named Bastioni, and a select few additional bottlings.

The 2020 Ferro is a dense, potent wine. Black cherry, plum, tobacco, licorice, incense and grilled herbs race across the palate. This dense, heady red has plenty to say. As is typically the case, Ferro is not especially varietal, but it is quite attractive if appreciated on its own terms. Give the tannins a year or two to soften. 2024 – 2035

The black berry and lavender with sage aromas are really very pretty. Medium body with a solid tannin backbone but polished and very attractive. Just a hint of new wood. But this is going to come together very nicely. Petit Verdot. Try after 2025.
