Gems from Tuscany’s Spectacular 2006 Vintage
I continue to be impressed with the consistently stunning 2006s from Tuscany. Most of the entry-level wines have been on the market for some time. As I have written here before, the vintage offers incredible quality from top to bottom in all of the region’s main appellations. Over the coming months many of the high-end bottlings will be arriving on retailers’s shelves. The best of these wines offer breathtaking richness in a style that marries ripeness with structure to a degree that has seldom, if ever, been seen in Tuscany. Although 2006 is very strong across the board, I couldn’t help notice that Maremma in particular was graced with a number of simply profound wines that readers won’t want to miss.
