Tasting notes
The 2006 Nemo Vigneto Il Mulino (Cabernet Sauvignon) is a more overt, fruit-driven wine than Il Poggio in this vintage. Sweet scents of French oak meld into blackberries, blueberries, licorice and grilled herbs. The fruit remains extremely primary, while the oak is a touch prominent, both of which suggest further cellaring is needed for all of the elements to come together. A rich, textured, creamy finish provides the final exclamation point to this superb, pedigreed Nemo. This distinctly Tuscan Cabernet seems to get better and better with each passing vintage. The 2006 is not to be missed.

The 2006 is not to be missed. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031. Castello di Monsanto is one of the historic names in Chianti Classico. The flagship Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggio and Nemo (Cabernet Sauvignon) are both exceptional in 2006 and promise to deliver much pleasure over many, many years.
